Does anyone know how to print bar codes using matrix printers connected via PC's running Client Access? In a remote site far far away, we have 2 Printronix line-matrix printers (model P5005B) connected to an AS/400 via twinax cables. They have the IPDS option installed, so we can easily print bar coded documents. Unfortunately, the AS/400 will soon be mothballed. All transactions will continue to be served at the site, but the data processing will be done in our central office's AS/400 connected via frame relay. Since all connections will be switched over to ethernet cables, the only way to connect the printers to the central office's AS/400 would be through PCs running Client Access. But in this configuration, I cannot make use of the IPDS feature! I can still print regular reports without bar codes. However, with bar codes, all I get are all sorts of weird characters (with occasional line feeds). I am all out of ideas. Any assistance will be appreciated.
