Corel X4 and Data Matrix 2D bar code

[dhenss]

Good evening,

I am working on a project were I will be creating a series of equipment ID tags. The customer requires the tags to be sequential, have a Data Matrix 2D bar code and a 4 to 5 digit number. I will be using Corel X4 for the design work, and I will be laser engraving the tags in runs of 25 to 100. My question is, what is the best method for generating the 2D bar code inside of Corel? Is there a plug in, or a font that will work? The project could be as little as 100 tags and as many as 3000 tags, so some automation is required.

Thanks for your comments and suggestions in advance.

Dieter
