Re: Bar Code printing example

If you're trying to do this without a specialized printer then I can't help.

We bought a barcode printer from Interscan to print stick-on labels.
It was just a case of designing the label with Interscan's software and then
generating an ordinary spoolfile (with RPG)the language needed to operate
the printer.
It was very easy.

Subject: Bar Code printing example

Hi Group,

I am a novice RPG programmer and my boss as asked me to modify our
'picking slip' program to include a bar code (order and order generation
#). We currently print on an OKIDATA Microline 590 line printer and
want to move to an Epson POS printer, model TM T811V. Additionally, we
would like the printer to cut the paper after printing each pick slip.

I have no experience printing bar codes and don't know where to start.
The existing program was written in 1992 (yikes) in RPG.

If anyone has a sample program, or can point me to a sample on the web I
would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Sheri
