Hey,
it work's, i can't see the Barcode in the afpviewer, but on
the paper it is printed.

But how can i make the *HRI "smaller", i read, keyword FONT isn't allowed with barcode ?

Thanks in advance !

Re: Barcode doesn't work

Yes, sorry, i will:

Here is the importent Notice:

"The Human readable parameter determines whether the data contained inside the barcode is printed in addition to the barcode in human readable form either above or below the barcode. The default is *HRI, with the data printing below the barcode. The *HRITOP can be used to print the human readable data above the barcode, if desired. An OCR font is used to print the data, so if your users do not like the appearance, you can choose *NOHRI and add another line in the printer file to print the human readable characters."

Human Readable Interpretation (HRI)

Do I apply dashes or spaces to the National Stock Number on the bar code or Human Readable Interpretation (HRI), i.e. 5998-01-476-2024?
No. The barcode and HRI that are applied should be the standard DoD symbology as described in ISO/IEC 16388.
The HRI should be the exact interpretation of the bar code data and should not contain any spaces or dashes.

Where are the HRI markings applied?
The preferred location for the HRI is below the bar code markings,
while the optional location is above the bar code markings.
[Reference: MIL-STD-129]

Something you should known ! Embed unprintable characters ( like a tab ) in a Code 128 barcode
The printer file is set to replace unprintable characters with a space. Once changed that, it worked.

CHGPRTF FILE(MyReport) RPLUNPRT(*NO)

Do I have found a "unknown" PDF on AFP ? Yes, I do !

Jamie, you need to add this info to the Code400.com site !
