Printing bar codes with HP 41?

[4ster]

I've printed quite a bit of bar code using the 82162A printer and the plotter module. Because of the limitations of the printer, the code looks like it needs to go on a diet. It prints 6 bytes per row of bar code IIRC. Normal HP 41 code is more like 16 bytes per row.

In addition you have to tape the strips on to a backing and copy if you plan to archive the bar code.

So you are not missing much.
