6.5 Printing Bar Codes

When generating bar codes on an IBM AS/400 or S/3X, the PQ-8 must be attached to a PCL laser printer and emulate an IBM 3812-1 printer, or to a dot-matrix printer operating in either Epson or IBM Proprinter mode and emulate an IBM 4214 or 5224/25/56 printer.

The following applies to printing bar codes on laser printers as well as on dot-matrix printers, unless specified otherwise.

Using the bar-code feature, the following bar codes can be easily printed:
