I created a printfile that uses the BARCODE function. I compiled it with device type set to *AFPDS. It works great when I send the print to a laser printer, but not when I try to use our IBM 6400 printer. I'm sure it is just a matter of configuring the printer. Anybody know how to set up the printer?
 
I used the barcode function to print postal barcodes. When you compile the DDS, you have to fill in the extended options with an IPDS. The AS400, will see and configure the printer properly. Never had to do anything else.
 
Thanks, Tried compiling the prtf with IPDS instead of AFPDS and I was able to print barcode on our 42XX printer, I'm still trying to print on our 64XX. But one step at a time. Thanks Again.
