Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript is, zoals de naam al zegt, een barcodegenerator voor level 2-Postscript. Een barcode wordt volgens de specificaties van de gebruiker aangemaakt door de 'postscript interpreter', bijvoorbeeld een printer of Ghostscript. Het programma ondersteunt diverse formaten, zoals code 128, isbn-13/10, Maxicode, pdf417 en zelfs kix, dat door TNT Post wordt gebruikt. Voor meer informatie verwijzen we door naar deze quick guide en een webbased front-end is op deze pagina te bewonderen.
