All products supporting the DataMatrix barcode type have been updated to provide support for Text Element Identifiers according to ISO 15434, ATA SPEC 2000 and Milstd 130.

 

The 2D versions of Active Barcode Components and dBarcode DLLs now support the option to generate mirror image barcodes.

 

All 1D versions of Active Barcode Components and dBarcode DLLs now supported longer barcodes for the barcode types that permit variable bar width ratios (ie. Code 39 and 2/5 types).

 

The Universal Barcode Font Kit Help file has been updated.
