Barcode making program for 41 series? - Sukiari - 04-21-2015 05:28 PM I know that it is possible to make barcodes on one's PC for use on the 41 series, but is it possible to dump a program from a 41 to a barcode if one has a suitable printer attached? If this is possible with programs, is it possible with registers too? If not, why not (!!) as this seems like a really useful function. RE: Barcode making program for 41 series? - Gene - 04-21-2015 08:02 PM Five different programs that print bar code from an HP 41, all with different requirements. Print bar code from an HP 41c RE: Barcode making program for 41 series? - 4ster - 04-23-2015 11:29 PM An example: The following backs up a data file in extended memory to bar code. It uses an HP-41 with an extended functions/memory module, an HP-IL module, an HP-IL thermal printer and a plotter module. Enter the Extended memory file name in the Alpha register and s.nnnii in the X register, s=starting register number, nnn=the number of registers you want to convert to bar code and ii=the increment (01 to print every register). Print eXtended Memory Bar Code Data 01 LBL "PXMBCD" 02 SF 21 03 STO 01 04 LBL 01 05 FIX 0 06 RCL 01 07 INT 08 "R:" 09 ACA 10 ACX 11 ADV 12 SEEKPT 13 GETX 14 BCX 15 CHS 16 BCO 17 ISG 01 18 GTO 01 19 END This prints out one labeled register at a time as barcode. It would be nice if multiple data registers could be on one line of code but I haven't been able to figure out how to do that yet. Its still much easier than keying in a large data file after a memory lost. I have a companion program that scans data into an extended memory file from this barcode. Anyway, one example of what you can do.
