Ibm 6400 Not Printing Barcode
We are using IBM 6400 and trying to print barcode with code39 format using Epson emulation. But barcode is not getting printed. Can any one help to guide me whats wrong? For Epson protocol, we are generating ASCII code as ESC|};cC;x12345x;PN;H03;D Printer should convert it to barcode but its getting printed as is. Is there any special feature which needs to be turned on? Any firmware upgrade needed?
