1. 1. What is Q-Barcode
Q-Barcode is an easy to use bar code creator that supports all the most popular Barcode types: EAN8, EAN13, UPC-A, UPC-E, CODE 39, CODE 2 OF 5 INTERLEAVED, CODABAR, CODE 128 (A, B and C), Postnet, ISBN EAN, and MSI PLESSEY. Saves in many popular graphic formats, and imports into virtually any Desktop-Publishing or Word Processing software. Also supports 90 degree rotate, save magnification, zoom and more!

2. How To Install
Q-Barcode comes with it's own self-extracting setup file. Just double-click on the QBCDEMO.EXE file and follow all on-screen prompts. This demo is fully operational. However the ability to SAVE, COPY or use ZOOM has been disabled. To have these options you must purchase the registered version of Q-Barcode. Please take a moment to review the software license agreement. 

3. Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I get a Barcode for my company or myself?
All retail products sold in the US have a UPC or Uniform Product Code somewhere on the product. This code is comprised of two parts. The first part of the symbol identifies the manufacturer of the product (you). The Uniform Code Council (UCC) assigns manufacturers these unique numbers to be used in making a UPC symbol for your product. You can contact the council at:
