You should select a field that you want to encode as the barcode. Different barcode symbologies support different characters and lengths.

You could certainly use longer. The maximum character length for Code39 is 43 characters, though that would make a very wide bar code. You should have a container field or create it for storing the bar code image that will be generated by the add-on. Installing the add-on in your solution is easy. Simply go into layout mode and click the add-ons tab of the left hand pane. Click this to install an add-on into your solution.

I selected the Barcode Generator add-on and clicked OK please also see the official Claris documentation here. After this, the Barcode Generator will appear in your list of installed add-ons like you see in the screen capture below. All you have to do next is drag and drop the bar code generator icon onto your layout.

The add-on is grabbing the names of all the fields on your layout to create the pop menu of field names. We have all the setup done, but you may have noticed that no barcode symbol appeared in your container field. This script uses the Perform JavaScript in Web Viewer script step to populate my container field with the Code39 barcode image. For purposes of my experimenting, I simply turned my bar code field into a button that calls that script, clicked the button, and voila….

You would likely call the script from a trigger so that the barcode generates automatically as you create records in your database. It examines the layout and automatically works properly if you only have one barcode generator add-on object and one barcode field that you are populating. The way the barcode will print is a function of the image format you choose on your FileMaker layout.

I printed out a sheet of bar code labels in different sizes with different options and then did some test scanning with a barcode scanner. That said, I successfully scanned my 8 digit barcode with the bar code shrunk down as low as 1. Your mileage may vary significantly on this last point.

I would suggest creating a layout and putting multiple copies of your bar code field on it in different sizes and with different options for field formatting, then print it and test with your scanner.
