Re: IPDS printer required for printing a barcode?

[Jeffry Kennedy <jkennedy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No, you can print bar-code without IPDS. There are printers (like Printronix &
IBM versions) that print bar-code and they aren't IPDS. You need an application
that generates Bar-code, the bar-code printers actually draw the characters and
bar-code pattern.

Our bar-code printers are set up as remotes to the iSeries.
