    (Tampa, FL.) IDAutomation.com, Inc. announces the release of their new Aztec Font and Encoder. The Aztec bar code font uses Vertical Interleaved Technology(TM) which allows printing of high-density Aztec symbols with TrueType, PCL and PostScript fonts. Two package versions are available, the Windows Package which includes the COM DLL, Crystal Reports UFL and ActiveX Control Graphic Encoders with signed ActiveX CAB file and the Advantage Package includes the Graphic Encoders as well as the .NET DLL, .NET Forms Control and the ASP.NET Web Server Control.

    Aztec is an area efficient two-dimensional (2D) barcode symbology capable of encoding large amounts of data. The data encoded may include letters, numbers, text and actual bytes of data, including extended characters, Unicode characters and small photos. IDAutomation recommends limiting the data encoded in each symbol to 800 characters or less if possible because many barcode scanners cannot decode large symbols.

    A fully functional evaluation version may be downloaded from http://www.idautomation.com/fonts/aztec/. A single user license for the Aztec Font and Encoder starts at $199 and a royalty-free Developer License starts at $1190. IDAutomation.com, Inc. also provides bar code fonts, ActiveX Controls, NET assemblies, JavaBeans, Java applets, label printing software, RFID products, MICR fonts, OCR fonts and barcode hardware. IDAutomation.com, Inc. is a member of the Better Business Bureau, has been marketing ID automation products for businesses since 1996 and is privately held.
