Hi, I wonder if someone could help with reading the PPC Rom barcodes at the end of the manual?
I only have a copy from the Museum DVD. I have printed some, but cannot read these at all.
I notice in the manual, mention is made of special paper that these were printed on, in the original manual.
Is this required to read these properly, or have I missed something and should be able to read these if printed on normal paper?
Would really appreciate your help.
Regards John

Hi John,

What kind of printer are you using? I think I recall that ink jets could be a problem? (Or maybe I'm thinking of something else.) Anyone recall? Bob

Thanks Max. The reason I ask is because the "bar codes" in the PPC manual seem condensed compared to normal bar code.

Thanks for replying Bob. I am using an Ink Jet, but have no problem with printing and reading barcodes, other than from the PPC manual.

The PPC ROM Users Manual says on page 3 that the barcodes in Appendix N are indeed "printed on special paper". These are pages 469 through 487 of the manual. The paper is only "special" insofar as it's higher-quality, smoother paper than the ordinary paper used for the other pages. It's not any kind of magical "barcode paper".

At the chem lab in college, I used to print bar codes on glossy clay coated paper (think heavy weight glossy photo paper today) using a 0.3mm drafting nib pen in a custom holder on a 9872 plotter. The holder had a nice counter weight to balance the additional weight of the drafting nib. It worked really well, just had to keep the pen down for an entire row to prevent excessive wear on the nib.
