RE: Printing Bar-Code on HP Laserjet

["Shaw, David" <dshaw@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dare,

I'm not sure I understand the question.  The spool files we print this way
are straightforward documents like bills of lading which have alphanumeric
text and barcodes on them.  DDS supports a number of different barcode
types, including Code 128.  Code 128 is pretty standard and is capable of
representing alphanumeric values, if that's what you're asking.

P.S. Sorry for the delay, work was hectic Thursday and Friday so I didn't
get a chance to read the list.
