Hi all, I had been looking around for a suitable program to create the barcodes for DLT tapes for a Sun L1000 library I manage and I found this nice perl script. It was originally for 8 char barcodes and used very thin bars thus causing my L1000 to ignore them.
I modified the script for our 6chr regime and modified the embedded 3 of9 barcode font to work for us. If people want the 8 chr script I could post that too. The script will generate a postscript file of a 3 column page of codes with a 3 letter, 3 numeral, colored background arangement suitable for piping direct into to lp. Syntax thus: ./script.pl prefix start_number colour > output.ps ie ./DLT.6chr.barcodes.pl DJB 010 red > codes.ps enjoy Tim
DLT.6chr.barcodes.pl
