-Code='123456',
-GenerateChecksum,
-ShowCode39StartStop)]

The example below shows how to create an EAN8 barcode with the code "12345678" for use in a PDF document. The variable $MyBarcode can be added within a [PDF_Doc] variable using the [PDF_Doc->Add] tag.

[Var:'MyBarcode'=(PDF_Barcode: -Type='EAN8',
