Abstract

A printing system including an interpreter with an interpreter program is provided. The interpreter converts each one of multiple print jobs from a job language format to a printable format for consumption by a printer. At least one of the multiple print jobs includes an identifier indicating that the at least one of the multiple print jobs includes bar code printing related information. The printing system includes a barcode font call processing program and an interpreter support system. Each one of the multiple print jobs is read by the interpreter support system and, when the interpreter support system reads the at least one of the multiple print jobs, the at least one of the multiple print jobs is processed with the barcode font call processing program so that a barcode font call, for delivery by the interpreter support system to the interpreter, is generated by the barcode font call processing program.
