EAN-13 barcode generator

This is a useful script to see and print EAN-13 barcodes. If you don't know what is a EAN-13 barcode, look at: Wikipedia

You can use the image (r variable) to print it. See here  to print with rebol.
To use it just digit the gencode command and the 12 digits, the script will calculate the 13rd digit and show the barcode:


gencode "123456789012"

    Purpose: {
        Generates EAN-13 barcode images as image! which can be used for
        print out and later read with a barcode reader.
        It's means to the the basic first version of a fuil barcode generator script
        for support of mulitple barcode types.
        Usage: gencode "123456789012"
        Any 12-digit can be used,
        to be read by a barcode reader.
        See '? gencode' for help on options
        Example: gencode "750103131130"

Using the refinements /big or  /bigger, you obtain bigger images.

  1. I've printed several million bar code labels in a commercial environment, using code39. This is a simplified version of the code I use - it outputs directly to PDF:

  2. We provide barcode generatelibraries on c# and vb.Of course including various barcode types,EAN13 definitely has.
