License Renewal Barcode Setup

On the Mail Merge templateusing the barcode font (font size 11 is recommended), the barcode must be formatted to include the Barcode Preface, a hyphen, the License Annual Renewal ID, and then a percentage sign. In many instances the barcode must be appended to include a special character to indicate the start and end code for the barcode reader.  This special character will be determined by the barcode reader, and may be an asterisk, exclamation mark, or an additional set of parentheses (e.g. *BarCodePreface-LicenseAnnualRenewalID%*).

Note: Barcode will print abridgedwhen actual data is translated intoMail Merge form.
