RE: PCL commands from RPG

PCL on its own does not support Barcodes, unless they are help as a built 
in font on the printer, one technique to get around this is to download the 
font to the printers memory, a company called ProHelp, do a neat little 
utility, to achieve this, contact Bo Horne, the web site is 
WWW.PROHELP.COM, you just print the barcodes, by switching to the 
downloaded font (using embedded PCL commands) and outputting the relevant 
characters, then return to standard font.

Greetings,

Has anyone ever printed barcodes on a laser printer using PCL? If so where 
could I find the commands (esc sequences) to do this?
I need to print 3of9 (seven's friend) on a standard laser.

Your help will shut me up for another 3 months..so there is an incentive 
here!

TIA
