Thanks

The User Code utility is what I use to generate bar-code. A copy can be downloaded right from this site.

Several programs for instance could be useful too:
PBC    (needs CCD Module) for ThinkJet HP2225B (IL version)
PBCDJ  Christoph Klug's version of PBC for DeskJet 500
CBNN   (needs Plotter Rom) for Plotter HP7470A (IL version)
       in order to print BC of Non Normalized Number
CBPG   (needs Plotter Rom) for Plotter HP7470A (IL version)
CBP    (needs Plotter Rom) for HP82162A Thermal Printer 
CBD    (needs Plotter Rom) for Plotter HP7470A (IL version)
       in order to print BC of Data (Numbers, Instructions)
MCBCP  (needs MCP MCode instruction) for HP82162A
       Thermal Printer or Plotter HP7470A (IL version)
       in order to print BC of MCode instructions

Also a special ROM exists:
SKWID Bar Code ROM for ThinkJet HP2225B (IL version)

Good luck! To be continued...

Try the following Bar Code Maker by Dan MCDonald. It's a Excel spreadsheet with a True Type Bar-Code Font.

If you prefer linux, you might try the 'prog41bar' and 'barps' programs in my 'LIF Utilities for Linux' distribution. It's avaialble from the HPCC web site, and comes as C source code (GPLed)
