Re: Printing Barcodes on SCS Printer

Ist he the possibility to print EAN8 barcodes on *SCS Printers - and how
to manage it.

AFAIK, it is only possible if the printer itself can generate the barcodes
when given an escape sequence in its own control language.  Even if your
printer does, once you go down that road you are tied to that printer model,
or at least one with a compatible definition language.  If using an ASCII
based printer, the easy way to get the escape sequence to the printer is by
inserting the SCS command string for "ASCII transparency mode", so the bytes
do not go through an EBCDIC to ASCII translation phase.  Typically, you must
also change or override the PRTF to not replace unprintable characters.

Search the archives for "ASCII transparency mode" if you have an ASCII
printer which support barcode generation.

If the question is if you can simply use the DDS keywords for barcode
printing, the answer is no.
