A client of mine just purchased a EasyCoder PD 41 code bar printer. This printer has its own set of embedded barcodes.
It has been set to print barcodes with the PF Barcode 128 TTF. Prior to the client purchasing this printer, I printed labels with barcodes, using the PF Interleaved 2 of 5 font. This font is physically located in the computer and installed in Windows. The printer used was a HP Laser printer. Now I have the following problems. 1) If I send the label as is (one object has a variable that is converted to bar codes, using the 2 of 5 interleaved), it just prints garbage 2) I cannot change the font to be used by the label object, simply because the 128 font is not installed in the Windows 3) Since the printer has its own set of fonts embedded into it, I can't print Now, the salesman made a demonstration by simply writing an alphanumeric line in a Word document, changed the font to be used in the Word document to that of the printer, and the bar code printed correctly. The bar code printer is installed as another printer in the machine's Windows. But I found no way to do this in the VFP label, even thought I choose the barcode printer. So, how does one tell a report or a label to print directly into a bar code printer, if the font in the object to be printed cannot be changed?
