RE: Question on printing bar codes and such on non-IPDS printers

You need to use "Host Transform" = *YES for the printer file.    Also make
sure you have the AFPDS compatibility fonts installed on the AS400.

Konrad,

The barcodes are on the file, they print fine on an IPDS printer, but I
want to print them on a non-IPDS printer.  If I recall correctly, it had
something to do with Host Transform or something in the printer definition
on the iSeries?

Cork,

If the barcodes are already on the printer files you
just have to change the actual file to DEVTYPE(*AFPDS).
You can also accomplish this through a standard MAPICS
override if you have some reason not to change the
actual file itself.

If you have to add the barcodes the source DDS needs
to have the appropriate BARCODE keyword added.

Let me know if you need any more info.

Regards

Konrad
