RE: Bar Coding

Mike,
We like to use AFPDS instead of IPDS to print bar codes (as well as other
nifty printing things).  You can use Host Print Transform in conjunction
with AFPDS to print on HP Lasers instead of an IPDS capable printer.  The
same DDS keywords can be used (BARCODE) for either IPDS or AFPDS.  Look in
one of the AS/400 Printing redbooks or DDS Reference for Print Programming
manuals for more info on bar coding.

I hope this is the right place to ask this...

We would like to print a bar code for every invoice that we receive (to pay)
for tracking purposes. I am not sure where to even start to do something
like this. I want to find out the most common practices so I can figure out
the best solution for us. I have one example, but that requires some sort of
chip on the printer for this to work. We would like to try to do this
without that chip if possible. If anyone could give me some sort of
direction, that would be great!

Thanks,
