The TCPDF barcode, which is used for barcode generator will be available in TCPDF library. The users can easily install their program genbarcode to enhance the number of supported format within Tactic. New barcode generator engine can also be installed by the users for better use.

	Hence, for understanding, which barcode is going to work properly, the users need to look for some technical terms. These technical terms suggest if the barcode scanner have the technical capabilities of being supported by Tactic or not. The very first term that suggest the technical capabilities are: '''HID''' mode, which stands for Human Interface Device. The second term that suggest the capabilities are: '''Keyboard Wedge''' or '''Wedge''' interface. However, the users can have more information on barcode generation to use Tactic more appropriately. The users can find barcode readers to read different types of barcodes, such as EAN13 or code-39 or code-128.

However, for being compatible with Tactic, the barcode scanners need to have a configuration that support keyboard emulation.


			Hence, for understanding, which barcode is going to work properly, the users need to look for some technical terms. These technical terms suggest if the barcode scanner have the technical capabilities of being supported by Tactic or not. The very first term that suggest the technical capabilities are: '''HID''' mode, which stands for Human Interface Device. The second term that suggest the capabilities are: '''Keyboard Wedge''' or '''Wedge''' interface. However, the users can have more information on barcode generation to use Tactic more appropriately. The users can find barcode readers to read different types of barcodes, such as EAN13 or code-39 or code-128.


			EAN13 is usually used by the manufactures and sellers, as these are used for defining a specific product. Code-39 is used for tracking serial numbers as it helps in stock maintenance as well. There are only numerical characters in code-39. Code-128 is used for stock tracking as well. The scanners can be tested before directly using them through computer as there are chances of error occurrence.


			For using the barcode scanners the users just need to plug in the USB cable of the scanner into the computer. After that the barcode need to be scanned by going through the provided manual. After completing this configuration every scan will be an output just as being incorporated by the keyboard.

	Barcodes can be helpful in maintaining a specific order of products or third parties. The generation of barcodes can be performed by two methods. The first method is generating barcode by using keyboards and the second method is generating barcodes with the assistance of barcode generator. For using the first method the users need to enter the numbers, which are generally visible under the barcodes. For using the second method the users need to use an external device to scan the barcodes effectively.		Barcodes can be helpful in maintaining a specific order of products or third parties.

			= Auto define barcode numbers =
			The barcode module needs to be activated for using, suggesting and validating barcode numbers. However, the users can also use define to make automatic number generation work. For an instance, if EAN format is chosen then the value will contain the country number and the company number.

			Suppose, if the country number is 200 and the company number is 399 then the starting of the barcode will be numbered as 200399. However, the product number will also be added to the barcode. If the product number is 123456 then the entire barcode will be 200399{123456}. The users need to remind that the checksum digit is not required for EAN13 as it is added automatically.
			EAN13 barcode identification works mostly for products, as it refers to the products and its lot or batch or serial number to decrease manual effort. Serial numbers and the barcode numbers can sometimes be autonomous barcode number and those can sometimes be included into an EAN128 code. About SKU, it is a very generic term that is used to signify that, “The ID enough accurate to manage stock”.
