Printing QR Barcodes on a HP Laser

[Newbie_Neil]

Hi all,

Currently, we use form overlays and print directly to HP lasers for all of our output. We now need to be able to print QR barcodes on some of the documents.

Has anyone done this using HP lasers from an AS400?

Thanks,
Neil

just compile the printfile as *AFPDS and use the BARCODE opcode.

D CRLF c x'0d25'
it displays as x & # 3 9 ; 0 d 2 5 & # 3 9......without the spaces

Hi Jamie,

just compile the printfile as *AFPDS and use the BARCODE opcode.

Our print programs were, mostly, converted from the S36:-)

So, sorry if this is a real newbie question. Does the BARCODE opcode support QR codes?

Thanks,
Neil

Hi all,

Just a quick update. We have purchased some DIMMs for our HP lasers and all we needed to do was to insert a little bit of PCL code in our programs to print barcodes, including the QR codes. We bought the DIMMs from www.fontware.com

Thanks,
Neil
