Re: Okidata 395 barcode print?

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Art, have you looked at the native barcode support in DDS? It's really very 
easy. The print file needs to be AFPDS, and host print transform is 
involved for non-IPDS printers. This can slow things down, which will have 
impact for high-volume stuff.

Some downloads for this stuff can be had at

The other solution offered would be faster, most likely.
