Product description
The Forms and Bar Code Card lets supported printers print a wide variety of industry-standard bar
codes. The Forms and Bar Code Card generates bar codes algorithmically in PCL 5 or PostScript
emulations.
With PCL 5 emulation, a printer with the Forms and Bar Code Card installed is the functional
equivalent of HP Bar Codes & More font set. It is also a compatible alternative to an HP LaserJet
with HP BarDIMM Pro (v3.3a), including the FREESCAPE alternate escape code feature. The Forms
Bar Code Card also provides custom device types for printing with SAPScript in SAP R/3
applications.
A supported printer with the Forms and Bar Code Card includes support for:
• RFID
• Built-in 256MB flash partition
• Storing and printing forms from an optional flash drive or from optional or standard printer
hard disk
• Creating electronic forms to be merged with data
