“Your infrared printing system does not have the following features available in the earlier thermal printing systems: … The Infrared Printer Module does not support bar-code printing functions.”

That implies IMHO that earlier thermal printing systems do support bar-code printing functions. But how? I did not find any hint towards bar-code printing neither in the “HP 82143A Thermal Printer Manual” nor in the “HP 82153A Bar Code Wand Manual”.

Any hint is highly appreciated.

There is a discussion on this here: http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/...read=76218

The upshot is the 82162 printer will print barcode with the plotter ROM, but the 82143 cannot.

When searching for info on "HP blah blah blah", use google to search like this:

HP blah blah blah site:hpmuseum.org, which will tell google to search for your topic only on the MoHPC site. IMHO, this works far better than using the built-in search tools.
