Could I possible get a copy of your bar code files, in perticular

the

BARS39.

We were printing bar codes fine on an oki printer but switched to

the hp

4250 laser jet to create our forms. I bought a bar code chip for the
printer but my unidata programmer is having trouble converting the
code from the oki to the laserjet using 3and9 coding.

I would really appreciate help.

I tried this and it works great with one exception.  The data now creeps up the 
page so by the bottom of the page I've lost about a line.  Anyone know how I 
can have the barcode match the linefeed height. Thanks

This was a very timely topic.  It must be barcode season.  A big thank you
to Tom Pellitieri for that code.

On Universe 9.4  I had to make two changes to CEI.HP.3OF9.

BWIDE(BMAP[J,1]) *=3 became BWIDE(BMAP[J,1]) = BWIDE(BMAP[J,1]) * 3

RETURN STR became RETURN(STR)

Oh and added END statements to each program.

Thanks Again

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.

While normally one needs a special font cartridge for this, I posted an
article (with code) on u2ug.org two years ago that allows you to create
3-of-9 barcodes using PCL line-draw commands.  Here's a link:

http://www.u2ug.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=9

You can also go to u2ug.org and search the site for "barcode" to find it.

3-of-9 barcodes handle only capital letters, digits, the six symbols $%+-/.
and a blank.  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.

Feel free to contact me directly if you want additional information.

If you need this, I can forward it to you. It will return the
PCL coding to produce the barcode for Code-128 (a,b and c

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.

While normally one needs a special font cartridge for this, I posted an
article (with code) on u2ug.org two years ago that allows you to create
3-of-9 barcodes using PCL line-draw commands.  Here's a link:

http://www.u2ug.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=9

You can also go to u2ug.org and search the site for "barcode" to find it.

3-of-9 barcodes handle only capital letters, digits, the six symbols $%+-/.
and a blank.  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.

Feel free to contact me directly if you want additional information.

This information is 10 years old but you can give it a try:

STARTBC:   \027)s0p8.1h12.0v0s0b0T\027)0Y\014\042
ENDBC: \042\015
SPACEBC:   \044

A WIKI page appears to have current links to HPs documents:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_Control_Language

You have a barcode font cartridge or memory module loaded in the
printer, right?

Does anyone have, or can you direct me to, a PCL command reference to

You can buy many different kinds of PCL downloadable bar code fonts from 
www.elfring.com, a small font foundry in St. Charles, IL. They are by 
the cheapest source I have found.

Try searches via the web for HP PCL codes on multiple search engines,
Dogpile etc, TuCows, Microsoft etc...

They are out there.  Also plug in the type of Bar Code PCL you are searching
for (128 etc)
