1. A system for securing a data stream containing data to be embedded in a bar code, comprising:
- a printer, having a nontransitory storage medium, configured to;
receive a data stream from a host computer, the data stream having at least one trigger being formed of a first portion of the received data and identifying at least one portion of data to be embedded in a bar code, wherein the first portion and the at least one identified portion are different portions of the received data;
identify each trigger in the received data stream;
extract each data portion identified by the trigger; and
convert the extracted data to barcode data embedded with the extracted data, wherein the barcode data and the extracted data are of different data types;
print a secured bar code embedded with the extracted data portions.
