Bar Codes Not Printing Out On Labels

Situation:

You’ve printed out labels, but instead of a bar code, you have a very large font displaying as seen below:

Solution:

The problem is the bar code fonts are not installed on the workstation that tried to print the labels.  Any workstation that will be printing out labels with bar codes needs to install the fonts.

To do so, open File Explorer and go to the following folder:  C:\WFSData\UserFonts

Inside the folder, you will see 10 files.  There is a backup for each font.  Any font that has the “A” icon is a font you will install.  The others are the backup for that font and may be ignored.

To install a font, right-click on the font.  When the content sensitive menu appears, left-click on “Install.”

Install all 5 fonts.  You will now be able to print bar codes on labels successfully.
