Hi,

I am new to PP5 and do excuse me if this issue has been raised and answered before in another post.

We have and application that prints a customer's logo in full colour(High Res) and the letter text in B/W. Since the colour printer's default settings are set to full colour mode, barcodes that are also included in the document are also printed using CMYK colours instead of B/W making the barcode unreadable by the machine.

One possible solution would be to print the logo in full colour and the rest of the document (text + barcode) in B/W.

Can this be achieved in PP5 ? Any ideas and suggestions would be greately appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

PlanetPress 5 prints barcodes in black and white. The actual PressTalk command is 'setfillcolor([0,0,0,100])' where K is 100.
Try forcing the printer to print in Black and white by replacing that command with 'setfillcolor([100])' instead.

Note: You must first convert the barcode object into a PressTalk object by selecting the barcode object then using the menu command 'Tools | Convert to PlanetPress Talk'.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. I'll try this out.
