+%% Here we go
+\parindent0pt
+Hello, this is a test sheet of the barcode fonts.
+
+At first, we deal with code 39. Code 39 is represented in this package
+both in form of a native font (Metafont-source) and in form of
+\TeX{}-macros. code 39 features low-density alphanumeric encoding.
+
+Here you may see how HELLO looks like in code 39 (the start and stop
+sign is mapped to @, if you're curious, so in the source to this sheet
+I have written {\tt@HELLO@} after having selected the proper
+font). This first example uses the font.
+
+{\xlix@HELLO@}
+
+Another approach is to use \TeX{} macros to make up bars. Here is the
+same HELLO with macros: Please note that for the macro version, you
+have to use the underbar if you want to have a space coded.
+
+\begincodethirtynine{HELLO}\endcodethirtynine
+
+Interleaved two-of-five (ITF for short) features high-density
+numerical-only encoding. Your code has to have an even number of
+digits. The start sign is mapped to $+$, the end sign to $-$.
+So, to code 0123456789, you type {\tt+0123456789-}, and the result
+looks like this:
+
+{\itf+0123456789-}
+
+If you still have not got enough of barcoding, here is codabar. Here
+you got four sets of start/stop signs that get decoded together with
+the numbers. The start/stop sign pairs are a/t, b/n, c/*, and d/e. So
+{\tt a12345t} looks like this:\bigskip
+
+{\cdb a12345t}
+
+Now you should have a look at code 128. The bars itself look sometimes
+disrupted; this is due to the fact that the widest elements are four
+times as wide as the narrowest. Code 128 enables you to code any 7-bit
+ascii character. With digits only, it is as efficent as itf. The bad
+news is the preprocessing required, so you have to read the docs. The
+following bars mean {\tt Hallo123456}\bigskip
+
+\CXXVIII 6828414C4C4F630C2238506A@@ % Code128(Hallo123456)
+
+And, last and perhaps most important, the EAN font. Read {\tt
+eandoc.tex} to find out how these are coded, here is just the output
+of the example code mentioned there:
+\embed{2500000000000}
+
+\line{
+\EAN{4 +AcFHaa-KKLKNK+} % or, without checksum: %(4025700001030)
+\hfil
+\EAN{4 +AcFHaa-KKLKNK+} %(402570000103)
+}
+\line{
+\EAN{2 +FAaaAa-KKLMNT+} % embedded(123)
+\hfil
+\EAN{9 +HiaCaB-LNOOSN+} % ISBN(0201134489)
+}
+
+And that's all. Perhaps you may think that this is not a beautiful
+document---but barcodes aren't beautiful. As long as reading devices
+do not have \ae{}sthetic feelings, I don't regard this as a problem.
+\bye
