How to print actual scannable barcodes with the staff client
Step 1) Download and install a barcode font
In this case I tried a "freeware" font from BarcodesInc, Code 39 (AKA Code 3 of 9). The file is named free3of9.zip, and if you unzip it you should see
FRE3OF9X.TTF FREE3OF9.TTF FREE3OF9.TXT
To install in Windows XP (other Windows should be similar), go to Start -> Control Panel ( optional, -> Switch to Classic View) -> Fonts. This should open a window titled Fonts.

From the File menu in the Fonts window, choose Install New Font. Navigate using the Folders: and Drives: sections of the dialog to find your unzipped folder containing the FREE3OF9 font.

In my case, this was c:\Documents and Settings\phasefx\My Documents\Downloads\free3of9\
Once you find it and see the two fonts listed in the List of fonts: section, then choose Select All and then OK. The fonts should now be installed and you may close the Fonts window.
