RE: Barcode Printing on IBM 6400 IPDS Printer

[Buck Calabro <mcalabro@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Abraham,
  Check out the DDS keyword BARCODE.  If you create your printer file as
DEVTYPE(*IPDS) you can easily print bar codes without having to issue any
printer commands at all.  Using O specs to do this would not be pretty.
