Hello everyone,
i'm trying to print an barcode with an citizen label printer.
Well, everything works so far.
I'm using a TTF for the barcode generation (UPCEAN6) and use QPrinter and QPainter to make this happen.
But the bc does not work with all barcode-scanners. That's why i'd prefer to use the label printer's internal barcode font - because in our legacy system, this has been proven to work with every barcode-scanner our customers are using.
This is what brings me to my question:
Is there any way to use a label printer's internal (barcode) font by using Qt's classes?
(Or to tell the printer to use that font for some text?)
As far as i researched, i would need all the label printer's native sdks to do so and use those sdks instead of the Qt-Printing module - or am i wrong here ?
Besides that, when "painting" on a QPrinter object, i can only use the fonts, available on the local system - which excludes the printer's fontdatabase - am i still right here?
kindly regards,
alex
