Bar code info for outsourced batch ticket printing

Hey all,

Didn't get a response on the ticketing forum, so thought I'd take a shot here in technical...

We're in the process of designing our tickets for access control and we're trying to figure out how this affects our process for sending batch ticket printing data to our outside print house.


Currently, we print to file (text file) and send that data with the print specs to our print house.  How are we going to go about relaying the bar code information as well?

 

Thanks in advance for all your help.

  • I wanted to add a little clarification to this.  When you output your ticket data the barcode will come out in text form (i.e. numbers).  You will need to tell your ticket printing vendor which data needs to be converted into a bar code, which bar code format to use, and how it should be oriented on the ticket.  Speak with your vendor and they should be able to guide you through the process.

     

    On a related note, we will be releasing a new document in June all about bar codes and Tessitura.
