You're telling it to to use Arial.  Try changing the cluster to your barcode font.

Of course, I could be all wet.

I had a similar problem years ago with Labview 7.1.1.

The printer has a built in Barcode mode, that is only accessible via low level commands (using Escape sequences) or you may use standard MS-Word like fonts. The fonts where not sharp enough being only images and not going to the full resolution possible.

I had to look for a windows raw driver from a microsoft website and implement that as code interface node.

Maybe there is another, better way. I wish you luck.
