Intermate iSeries, i5, AS/400 manual Testing the Barcodes in an Overlay, 0003

Step 5. Testing the Barcodes in an Overlay

15.We can now try to create an overlay with text constants using the fonts 0003, 5001 and 4700. The following example is testing the OCRB font (font 3) and the barcode (font 4700) only. The spool entry used for testing will be the demo spool entry delivered with InterForm400® (Refer to section 1. Create Demo Spool Entry on how to print it. See page 337)

16.Enter 1. Design Overlay on the main menu, and type the name

FONTTEST.

F13=Set view/print parameters			F14=PCL-view

17.The only thing we change on this screen is the default font. We set this to OCRB (Font 3). This means the entire spool entry will be printed with OCRB.

18.Before we start defining the barcode we will make a printout of the overlay in OCRB. We press F3 to exit to the main menu, and we enter menu 3.
