Re: Okidata 395 barcode print?

Art, have you looked at the native barcode support in DDS? It's really very easy. The print file needs to be AFPDS, and host print transform is involved for non-IPDS printers. This can slow things down, which will have impact for high-volume stuff.

Some downloads for this stuff can be had at <http://www.printers.ibm.com/R5PSC.NSF/Web/4free>

The other solution offered would be faster, most likely.

Anyone doing this without any extra hardware?  We have some 395's hooked
up through JetDirects.

According to the manual, I could print the barcode using Lprint commands
in Basic (great), like this:

50 PRINT #1, CHR$(27) ; CHR$(16) ; "B"; CHR$(10) ; "1234567890"

Is there any chance I could get these codes converted to Ebcdic so that
I could put them in my spooled output, would they even get past the
jetdirect?

Any info appreciated.
