Abstract
A method of preparing a document containing a bar code for printing includes providing a trigger font in a representation of the document to indicate a bar code; and providing characters in the representation of the document and after associated with the trigger font, where the characters provide a bar code representation. When displayed, the bar code representation does not have a same appearance as the bar code but is a placeholder for the bar code in the document.

A method of preparing a document containing a bar code, the method comprising:
- providing a trigger font in a representation of the document to indicate a bar code;
- and
- providing characters in the representation of the document and after associated with the trigger font, wherein the characters provide a bar code representation that, when displayed, does not have a same appearance as the bar code but is a placeholder for the bar code in the document.
A system for preparing a document containing a bar code, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- a display coupled to the at least one processor, and
- a computer readable storage medium having processor-executable instructions, the processor-executable instructions when installed onto the system enables the at least one processor to perform actions, comprising:
- providing a trigger font in a representation of the document to indicate a bar code;
- and
- providing characters in the representation of the document and after associated with the trigger font, wherein the characters provide a bar code representation that, when displayed, does not have a same appearance as the bar code but is a placeholder for the bar code in the document.
A computer readable storage medium having processor-executable instructions, the processor-executable instructions when installed onto a system enable the system to perform actions, comprising:
