Re: Barcode printing
In my 15 years of printing/using bar codes, I've concluded that it's best to not re-invent the wheel and purchase printers that are bar code capable. Thus, you don't really make up the bar code lines themselves, you just send an escape sequence telling the printer what kind of code, orientation, position and value. I used to do bar code manually on Printronix printers and will never go back to calculating the spaces. Let the printers do their magic. my 1 cent. - Original Message - From: "Lee Messenger" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED] Com" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, April 23, 2004 11:03 AM Subject: Barcode printing > I am attempting to identify a solution to printing barcodes from within > Universe basic.

RE: Barcode printing
We will be using our existing HP team printers to generate the barcodes. Greg Bonebrake with PPI in St Louis sent me some code to generate 128 barcodes that works great.

RE: Barcode printing
If you are just looking to print from One particular printer, there are also external devices you can hook inline to the printer and the cable, which will take ASCII codes and translate them to the appropriate HP codes to produce the bar code. the 128 barcode from Pick, (David Church's) should be available from the files section of the list (I forget how). It works great with HP printers and is easy to implement.
