what kind of programming language is this(for barcodes)?
i am trying to buy a printer that can print barcodes, the program was made a while back and the programmer is not around anymore. Trying to find a printer that supports this language. I see the commands for it as
REM BAR CODE
IF P<>P4 RETURN
PRINT #0; TAB53
PRINT #0;”3\|};cI;*”;
PRINT #0;UX$[1,6];
PRINT #0; USING “&&&&”;P*100+P4;
PRINT #0;”*;H03″;
RETURN
Best answer:
BASIC

It *is* basic, but the codes(printer language) being sent to the printer are pretty cryptic. Looks like they’re sending codes directly to the printer. If you’re looking for a printer that supports *THOSE* codes, you might have to provide more information. They may be simple graphics commands like line drawing, or referencing a font which has already been downloaded to the printer. Hard to tell with just a snippet of code.
If you can find a programmer to retrofit your program then ANY printer nowadays can print barcodes, you just have to have the right software. I print barcodes from within Microsoft Access via some software that I found free on the internet. This software can actually be easily integrated into Microsoft’s Office products, (Excel, Word, Access) and Visual Basic. Maybe even Powerpoint and Visio.

Agree with the above – difficult to move to another printer.
You would be far better off simply migrating to a barcode printing library. The one my company uses is tec-it:
tec-it.com/
Recommended product. Highly functional, low price.
Good luck!
