Barcode requires IPDS (type/emulation) - and compile the prtf that way; 
my personal preference is to go AFPDS, even more "graphics" are available,
but either way - 

As for hardware, any printer that is capable of IPDS emulation will work,
we are running barcodes on HP and Lexmark here.

The HP has a "blue box" ipds emulation, I do not recall how the lexmarks
are set up, but they are straight IP, no twin-ax lines.

You can also; depending on your HP model, get a card for emulation, or even
a special chip that goes on the logic board.

Subject: IPDS printer required for printing a barcode?


Hi,

If I want to print a barcode, am I limited to only using an IPDS printer?

Also, can I print a barcode on a HP printer, or am I limited to using IBM?

Thanks,
Dave
