Re: Bar Code printing

[Norman Dolph <NEDOLPH@AOL.COM>]

Do you have eltron's printer language manual? without this you are doomed.
With it you will need to encode setup strings to position the "cursor" change
the
Bar code fonts etc and append the text strings you want to print as barcodes
to these setup strings.

Then print this composite string.

Stay completely away from HP setups, declarations etc.  You have to treat the
project as though you were outputting an ascii string to a teletype, where
the string is concatinated to the eltron setup string.

The only way to get it to look right is through trial and error.  Print a
label, nudge it to the right by modifying the setup string etc till you get
it right.

If I were doing it I would "Write" the whole formatted label(s) to a
label.txt file and then issue the dos command COPY Label.TXT LPT1:

Naturally if the eltron is connected to a serial port, you have all that to
deal with but I assume you have that part of the problem in hand.

hope this helps
