Problem Printing Idautomation Barcode Font In Access Report Using Datamax O N'eil Thermal Printer

Legacy Poster

I designed a report to print barcode using the free IDAutomation barcode font available at idautomation.com/fonts/free/
everything went fine during the design stage and looks right in the print preview
but when I tried to print it on a Datamax O N'eil thermal printer
all the text fonts are printing fine except the barcode, instead of the barcode font a text font is printing in a very small size
I have installed the driver for the printer and also imported the font into the printer

THE BARCODE REPORT IS PRINTING FINE ON LASER JET PRINTERS
The problem is only with Datamax O N'eil Thermal Printer

  Hi Junaid,
  
  Generally, don't install barcode to printer, try to print barcode as image.
  Besides I'm tech support of BarTender label design software so having no idea of how IDAutomation product works.
  I recommend to [url="http://www.seagullscientific.com/aspx/free-bar-code-label-printing-software-download.aspx"]try our BarTender label design software[/url], which works perfect with Datamax printers and allows you to use [url="http://www.seagullscientific.com/ftp/whitepapers/WhitePaper_TheAdvantageOfDriversBySeagull_English.pdf"]full capability of barcode printer[/url] - such as Printer barcode font, serialized copy, cache memory etc.
  
  Hope that helps.

  Thanks for your reply Shotaro
  How do you print barcode as image
  Is there any changes to be made in the driver
  I use a Microsoft Access Database to print these barcodes
  and my operating system is Windows vista

  Hi Junaid,
  To print barcode as image, plase ask IDAutomation support as I don't have a good idea of that software.
  With BarTender, you can connect to access database table and print label. About how to create database connection, please check [url="http://www.seagullscientific.com/aspx/training-video-(reading-data-from-database).aspx"]this movie[/url] and [url="http://www.seagullscientific.com/aspx/bar-code-label-software-training-videos.aspx"]some other movies[/url].
  There's some more useful resources about BarTender in [url="http://www.seagullscientific.com/aspx/white-papers.aspx"]White papers[/url] and [url="http://www.seagullscientific.com/aspx/FAQ.aspx"]FAQ[/url].
