The box functions are still "working", but because your barcode font
is probably a different pitch than the regular text, the box elements
are NOT likely to line up. The same is true if you put a few condensed
characters in the middle of the box.

What you can do is to use the "tabs" printer codes in the hp-XXX tables
to anchor the box characters affected by the barcode.

Give me a call at the office and we'll fix you up.
