HP-41 wand module code printing Message #1 Posted by Michel Beaulieu on 29 Oct 2003, 8:20 p.m. Is it possible to print the programs that are in my calculators in the form of bar code on the HP-82143A or with the HP-IL 2225 printer? a program already done somewhere insted of writing it? If not possible; what is the use of that bar wand if i don't have any bar code except the one in the HP-41 manual. Thanks Michel

Re: HP-41 wand module code printing Message #5 Posted by Raymond Del Tondo on 29 Oct 2003, 11:00 p.m., in response to message #4 by Massimo Gnerucci (Italy) You don't need the plotter module for barcode printing on the 82162A or 2225B IL printers. Only the XF module is needed if you want to print program barcodes, and of course the HP-IL module. You can even print barcodes on an 82143A, but for this you'll have to modify it's hardware for half-line feed. There were articles about this topic in the PPC and CCD publications. However, the plotter module has some very powerful functions to ease barcode creation, and if you're using an IL plotter, like the 7470A, you'll need it. Raymond

One requires the plotter module, another requires extended functions/memory, still another requires the IL DEV and CCD modules. All require synthetic. http://www.rskey.org/gene/calcmuseum/41bc.htm Mark Hardman

Re: HP-41 barcode plot with EMU41 Message #8 Posted by Christoph Klug on 30 Oct 2003, 3:23 a.m., in response to message #7 by Mark Hardman Hi HP41 barcode enthusiasts : Take EMU41 with virtual SKWIDINK module running on your PC. A Laser printer gives your best barcode plott quality. Programm upload from HP41 to EMU41 is possible with HP-IL/PC interface card. From this system solution resulting much more advanced applications : Refer to HP-Museum articles forum item 311 "HP41-PC gateway & emulator"... Best wishes from Germany - Christoph Klug
