barps - Print an HP41 barcode file on a postscript printer
barps [title] < barcode_file > postscript_file
barps is a filter to print HP41 barcode on a standard Postscript printer. The barcode file is read from standard input, and the (level 1) postscript file is written to standard output. The latter may be piped to lpr in order to directly print the barcode, or redirected to a file.
If the optional argument is given to barps then it is used as the title for each page of printed output. Otherwise the title HP41 Barcode is used
The format of the HP41 barcode file is given in barcode(5)
The Postscript language is described in PostScript Language Reference Manual, Adobe Systems Inc.
If data1 is an raw sdata file, and postscript is a postscript printer then
sdatabar < data1 | barps ’Data File 1’ | lpr -P postscript
will print that file on the postscript printer with the page title Data File 1
