There was a recent thread here about what IBM standards a laserjet needs to 
support for it to accept various kinds of bar coded data from the 400.

Check out a PRTF DDS command "BARCODE"

There's tons of vendors that advertise this capability in the AS/400 trade 
press - but do they interface well with whatever software packages you are 
using? - check out

ISE has done this for BPCS such as bar coded shipping labels automatically 
during the shipping process ... brucebarker@iquest.net

there's a package called dcServ sold by many BPCS vendors that provides a 
communications pathway between BPCS/400 & PC applications with a minimum of 
programming modifications - bar coding is part of the package

Perhaps you should visit the AS/400 vendor directory sites with the trade 
press to review which advertise the features you desire & look at some back 
issue comparative reviews of the pros & cons of the competing vendors

there's even some of that resource where we signed up for this _L

Some of the general suppliers of AS/400 hardware & software have on their web 
sites the ability to download specifications of hardware & software for any 
of the vendors they supply ... such as System/3x/400 Warehouse.
