Java Applets Display on Screen, But do not Print.

Applet printing problems have long existed in web browsers. This is a known problem with Netscape version 6.0, 6.1 and Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0. The issue appears to be caused by a Mozilla bug which was included in both browsers. The various web browser programmers have only recently found a solution. IDAutomation testing has determined that Java applets work dependably with the following browsers:

• Netscape 4.7
• Netscape 6.2 and above with Java 2 installed
• Internet Explorer 6 and above with Service Pack 1 installed as well as all critical updates installed on the browser and Operating System.

If applets are used for printing barcodes, make sure a compatible web browser is used. If this is not practical, IDAutomation recommends one of the following server based solutions that are compatible with any web browser:

• Microsoft® ASP Barcode Server for IIS for Windows Servers
• ASP.NET Barcode Server Controls for ASP.NET Servers
• Java Barcode Servlets for Windows, MAC, Unix, Linux and other systems

More information about creating barcodes on the Internet is available from the IDAutomation Internet Barcode FAQ and Tutorial.
