Product description
The Forms and Bar Code Card lets supported printers print a wide variety of industry-standard bar
codes. The Forms and Bar Code Card generates bar codes algorithmically in PCL 5 or PostScript
emulations.
With PCL 5 emulation, a printer with the Forms and Bar Code Card installed is the functional
equivalent of HP Bar Codes & More font set. It is also a compatible alternative to an HP LaserJet
with HP BarDIMM Pro (v3.3a), including the FREESCAPE alternate escape code feature.
A supported printer with the Forms and Bar Code Card includes support for:
• OCR-A and OCR-B as bitmap and scalable fonts
• Independently scalable bar heights and widths
• Embedding text with selectable positioning
• Data format verification with error reporting
• Automatic bar code data compression, checksum calculation, and character placement when
required
• Automatic placement of special characters (prefix, start/stop, guard bars) when required
The CD that comes with the Forms and Bar Code Card contains:
• Visual Bar Code Designer
• Demonstration and test files
• End User License Agreement
• A Readme file that contains download information, requirements, and installation instructions
Follow the instructions in the readme file located in the root directory of the CD to access these
items. The items are available in English only.
The incoming data is analyzed for valid parameters, such as string length and string characters.
When an invalid condition is detected, an error message appears. For more information, see “Bar
code engine errors” on page 153.
