I don't sell PrintWizard but I highly recommend it for tasks like this.

For an example of Code 128 done the hard way, but free, see this: http://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?BarCode128 Note that if you need a different format you're going to need a lot more code.

RE: [U2] Barcode PCL Commands
Does anyone have, or can you direct me to, a PCL command reference to print barcodes? I need to print them on an HP laser. There is supposed to be a barcode font built into PCL 5 and up, but I could never make it work on our printers. I do have some UV code you can have that will print CODE39 barcodes (only) in about 8 different sizes natively from UV to HP-PCL printers without using soft fonts. It positions the barcodes using row/column addressing WITH the assumption that you are using the 16.66 cpi Lineprinter font. If that meets your need, give me a shout.

An asterisk is used for the start and end bars. The code got its name because three of the nine bars (five black, four white) are three times as wide as the others.

RE: [U2] Barcode PCL Commands (link to code)
I updated the file just now to include the following code (shown as comments) * * GG: tHE FOLLOWING CODE WAS ADDED TO ALLOW PRINTING OF THE * NEW POSTAL CODE-128 BARCODES. sO THE START CHARACTER * WILL BE PRINTED. * ! IF (CODE.FLD = CODEC) THEN ! POS = 103 ! GOSUB PRINT.BAR ! END * * which goes after this section * print the start code BEGIN CASE CASE VALUE[1,4] MATCHES 4N CODE.FLD = CODEC POS = 106 CASE VALUE[1,1] CHAR(32) ;* control character CODE.FLD = CODEA POS = 104 CASE TRUE CODE.FLD = CODEB POS = 105 END CASE GOSUB PRINT.BAR You will need to uncomment it to function. Normally, Code128 doesn't print the start character but for the new postal code 128, you need the start character after the code c character.
