The label printing function can put a human-readable alphanumeric
barcode value on a label, but there's no function for drawing a
barcode as thick and thin lines, though you might be able to do
something with a barcode font and your print CSS (though I'd expect
difficulty if you want to have more than one font in a label).  That
said, there are open source code libraries for doing this that I
wouldn't expect to be difficult to work into Evergreen, if someone
wanted to put resources toward it.
