RE: Okidata 395 barcode print?

["Art Tostaine, Jr." <artjr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I did try to do it with host print transform, but I got garbage out
of the printer.

Let look some more.

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.
