Abstract

A method for including a barcode as part of a print job. A user is presented an option to encode and print at least one property of the document as a barcode. Data representative of a document to be printed is rendered. Rendering and encoding may take place in serial or in parallel, with either one of the steps occurring prior to the other. The document to be printed is printed. If the user selects to print the barcodes, the barcodes are then printed.
