Re: Printing Bar Codes

[boothm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

This is only one answer of many I'm sure you'll see.  Consider changing 
the program to write all the regular detail at overflow time, and only 
print the barcode  at detail time? Can you tell the printer the report is 
66 lines long, with overflow at line 20, or where ever?

        Subject:        Printing Bar Codes


We are trying to print Bar Codes on reports using 4234 model 12 printers. 
We want to print the bar code on the top of the page.  What we are 
experiencing is all the normal text for the entire page is printed, then 
the printer backs up the paper to the top of the page, and prints the bar 
code.  This is a very slow process and it also causes the paper to jam 
quite often.  Is anyone else using these printers to print bar code?

It is possible to print the bar code at the bottom of the page, but the 
application is better suited for printing them at the top.

We were wondering if this is the way bar codes are processed on these 
printers or do we have something setup incorrectly that is causing the 
page to be printed in this manner?

Does anyone know opf any other printers that would be more suitable for 
printing bar codes?  We need a printer that can use multi part paper.  The 
forms we print are 3 and 4 part.

Thank you for your help
