First you need a barcode font. Once you have this simply move the cursor to the spot you want (in the example 300 x 300 in whatever unit of measure you've defined), and then call the barocde and put your text down. A simple exmample might look like htis:

<ESC>*p300x300Y<ESC>*c100D1234567890

This assumes that you have embedded the barcode as part of the print job and assigned the numeric 1000 to the font call. Just search the web for "pcl barcode font" and you will find many sites that sell these fonts and provide instructions on how to call. If the printer has barcode fonts embedded, try printing a font list and it should provide the escape sequence you need to call.
