Re: Barcode printing questions

I >believe< it is 3of9 (from memory) that is being used. I downloaded the
printing V Redbook. Looks like it needs to be *AFPDS. So, tomorrow, I can try
to see if it actually DES work with the printers we have. I am inclined to
believe it will work fine, since HP is currently sending barcodes. Just was
not sure how HP is doing it. I am curious, not being near a System i, if there
is some other issue. Something to do during "spare" time tomorrow.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Quoting Mike Wills <koldark@xxxxxxxxx>:

Yes you can print to laser printers when using the BARCODE DDS.
keyword... Depending on the barcode that is.

Currently, we are doing limited bar code printing on a dot matrix

was asked if bar codes can be printed on other printers. My first
thought was
that this was possible. I was asked very late in the day. Not a
good reason
to give an immediate answer.

The application currently uses a printer file. So it is tempting to
conclude
that barcodes can be generated.

But, now I am having doubts. Can bar codes be sent to a non IPDS
printer, such
as a Lexmark Optra?

I am going to look through IBM, but I'm not sure if I will find the
answer, so I
thought I would post here as well.

Thanks
