This invention teaches a system and method for printing bar codes where the bar code logic is encapsulated in a modularized barcode encoder in a host computer, independent from either an associated printer or an associated application program. This novel modularization allows sophisticated and flexible barcode printing from a wide range of applications programs and a wide range of printers where neither the printer nor the application program necessarily has barcode logic. Barcode logic can thus be produced, packaged, and maintained by barcode specialists without requiring changes to either the associated printers or application programs.

An electronic messaging system for both participating institutions and nonparticpating institutions and their populations. When an institution is participating in the system of the present invention, both message senders and recipients are authenticated and known and verified before any communication can take place. Messages for institutions not currently participating in the system are converted to printed mail for delivery to the non-participating institution using traditional postal systems. The present invention also teaches novel message processing techniques that take advantage of the electronic format of the messages to provide automated security and translation and/or transliteration services and further teaches the novel feature of marking incoming messages with a code to assist in accurately and secure delivery of reply messages to the appropriate party.

This invention teaches a system and method for printing bar codes and forms in a soft font environment. Special codes that identify the underlying font and character code of a screen font are encoding in the drawing instructions of a soft font, allowing systems that monitor print data to identify the original character strings and substitute alternate printing fonts, even in environments where coding information is discarded during print text formatting. Applications, such as barcode applications that require additional characters to produce a barcode suitable for scanning, can seamlessly provide the additional control characters without interaction from the user or application program.

A system for thwarting malicious malware attacks on computing devices potentially introduced by flash drives and similar universal serial bus (“USB”) devices. The system disclosed herein includes a USB shield that treats both a hosting computer and a newly inserted USB device with appropriate caution and monitors interactions between the host and the device based on its own logic. In some embodiments, the USB shield is configured independently of its intended host or intended target device. Once configured, the shield is typically plugged into a host computer, and then a desired USB device is plugged into the shield and then monitors and blocks all communications inconsistent with its configuration parameters. In some embodiments, the USB shield modifies certain communications (such as filenames) as a safety precaution if so configured to defeat auto-run logic even if configured on a host computer.

A method and apparatus for coordinating a mode of communication between a host module and a receiving module wherein a specific data string is selected which, when sent to a receiving module, specifically a printer, requests the printer to convert to a packetized data command format. If the printer is capable of communicating in a packetized format the printer converts accordingly and transmits the appropriate response to the computer. If, on the other hand, the printer is not capable of communicating in a packetized format and does not recognize the specific data string, the specific data string will be ignored by the printer as null characters.
