For starters, you need special software, or a barcode font.

Here are some links to help.

Remove any spaces from the pasted links.

The Free CD from Keyence should give you all the information that you need.

Well, by definition, you cannot print barcodes in ASCII.

All bar code systems, and code 39 in particular have specific formats for the width and spacing of the bars.

I don't believe that you can print 'reliable' barcodes with a dot matrix printer. They just do not have the resolution required.

Chas

So, if I understand things correctly, you need to send a file from your AS400 to tell the Bar-code printer what to print.

I suggest that you close this question, and re-post it with all the details.

I suggest that you assign at least 500 points to the question.

Now that I have all the information on what you need to do, I found some information that should be usefull.

The first link is for an IBM page on AS400 printer support.
The second link is to a PDF download for a EPL2 programmers manual.
