Barcodes on DOCLINE® Requests

DOCLINE provides a machine-readable version of the request number to facilitate volume processing. To display and print barcode numbers, you must have the 3 of 9 Barcode font installed in the Windows Fonts directory of your PC.

Once the barcode font is installed, barcoded request numbers will automatically display and print on DOCLINE requests. The request number will also be displayed beneath the barcode.

NOTE: Displaying barcode numbers is optional. Without the barcode font installed, the request number displays as:

   * 4191 *
   Request # 4191


To download the 3 of 9 Barcode font, please follow these instructions.

For Internet Explorer:

For Firefox:

NOTE: Firefox version 32 and higher no longer displays the barcode font.  We are hopeful that a fix will be forthcoming from Mozilla in an upcoming release of Firefox.

 

Depending on your operating system (O/S), you may need to peform an additional step to install the font. Please refer to your O/S documentation for further details, or contact your IT support.



To see if your font has been installed correctly, view the Barcode Font Test page.
