Two tips:



- An orientation of -900 is up and down.



- You can print barcodes by installing a free barcode font like Code39 on the window machine with php installed and then selecting it as a font.

Note that the orientation value is a 3-digit number where, for instance, an orientation of 90� requires a value of 900.
