Hello Net,
We have a requirement for an application running on a VAX/VMS system to
generate labels that have VERY large characters and some BARCODES as
well. This would be printed on A4 size paper. Eg:
"LARGE LABEL TEXT"
"MORE LARGE TEXT"
"BARCODE"
"SOME MORE TEXT"
The text of course has some variable data.
We are considering doing this using postscript as it seems to give the
maximum flexibility. However I would rather not have to write barcode
generation as well in postscript.
Q: Are there any product(s) that would allows us to do this.
An indication of prices would be very useful.
I guess what we are after is some package that generates postscript
to draw the appropriate barcode for a given set of numbers.
Thanks very much. Please reply to the net as I cant get direct mail.
Regards,
Lasantha Jayasinghe
