Re: Barcode to Lexmark 2580n (Dot Matrix)

Is HPT (Host Print Tranform, keyword TRANSFORM) set to *YES?

Lexmark Forms Printer 2580n+

Attempting to print a barcode using the BARCODE keyword. Printer file
compiled *AFPDS.

i 7.1 with reasonably current PTFs

Printer is defined with the *IBMSNMPDRV Driver as a *LAN Printer. Using
the system driver of *LEX2380 and also tried *IBM2380. The printer file
printers a constant: 'Tag:'. The tag number and then the barcode with no
human readable. Thus:

'Tag:'
@TAG 13A O +1
TAGBAR 14A O 2
BARCODE(CODE3OF9 2 *NOHRI)
SPACEB(001)

The word Tag and the @TAG field print happily.
The barcode prints a string of characters, not a barcode.

The printer does not complain. The writer does not complain. The spooled
files does not go on hold.

Thoughts?

Is this a 'not gonna work' situation?

Is this a 'configuration issue' for the writer?

Is this a 'parameter issue' for the printer file?

Is it broke and we should call IBM?
