from Mile-O ---------------- I'm trying to change the less obvious thread titles to something more relevant to aid searches by putting keywords in and removing most punctuation marks from them too. Especially those with the words Help, Urgent, and Please ----------------- i'm glad you can...

i suspect you scanner is not set-up to handle code39 extanded. try changing Smith,J to SMITH,J and see if it will scan. also see this link: http://www.idautomation.com/code39faq.html#Full hth al

guessing... if you are using continuous forms on a dot matrix printer, you might need to set the end-of-job indication in the printer's setup parameters (or the printer itself). if the printer does not see an end-of-job, the printer channel will likely remain open, thereby giving the...
