Introduction Overview The Forms and Bar Code Card lets you print a wide variety of standard forms and bar codes. Using an algorithm, the Forms and Bar Code Card can generate bar codes in either PCL 5 emulation or PostScript emulation. Bar Code options include: • OCR-A and OCR-B as bitmap and scalable fonts • Independently scalable bar heights and widths • RFID support • Embedding text with selectable positioning • Verifying data format, with error reporting • Automatic bar code data compression, when required • Automatic bar code checksum calculation and character placement, when required • Automatic placement of special characters, when required • Using PCL 5 emulation, the Forms and Bar Code Card: - Is the functional equivalent of Hewlett Packard's Bar Codes & More font set. - Is an alternative to an HP LaserJet with JetCAPS BarDIMM Pro (version 3.3A), including the FREESCAPE alternative code feature. - Provides custom device types for printing with SAPscript in SAP R/3 applications. Forms options include: • Storing and printing forms from an optional flash drive or optional/standard printer hard disk drive • Built-in RFID support • Creating electronic forms to be merged with data • Sending merged output via fax and e-mail Notes: - Forms Composer and Forms Manager are required to create and manage forms. - The forms files on the card will have the file extensions .LFM and .LFF. - See the documentation that came with the printer, as well as the documentation that came with Forms Composer, to find out more about using RFID when printing forms.
