Title: RE: Barcode module for BPCS

We print bar-codes on HP laser with a bar-code SIMM and IBM 2390 plus - good quality.

Both required a little programming and you have to pass some hex characters to it.
Not sure how you would tell it to do it in ASSET or an internal print file. 
Can do it on an external print file fairly easily.

If you have an IPDS printer (we used a 6400-series printer), then all you
have to do, in the externally-defined printfile is use the BARCODE keyword
on the field you want to bar-code.  If not, you're pretty much out of luck,
I think.  The BARCODE keyword is pretty simple to use, allowing various
code-types and sizes.  I did this in a high-volume shop not running BPCS.
We printed upwards of 7,500 packing slips a night at times, and the printers
(6412's, I think) were just fine.  For these impact printers, we DID end
having to use standard IBM ribbons, and change them every day for the
scanners to read the codes.  The aftermarket ones smudged...

BPCS 6.1 Mixmode AS400

Without digging through the DOC module in BPCS, is there a quick and dirty
way to print barcodes on the PICK LIST for a couple of the fields.  Does
BPCS have a module for printing barcodes on various printouts.

I have a separate forms design software package that we use with the
packing list to create a customized looking form but currently the PICK
LIST is not running through that package.  It could easy enough but I was
wondering if BPCS had a facility where you could turn on barcode printing
for selected data.

Thanks
