Over the time, I've build for my first use first, a set of bar code sheets, in different formats. To keep things simple, I now propose the full set at once, 12 pages of bar codes which includes :
- (i) HP-41C Character Set Bar Codes
On a single A4 sheet, all HP-41C characters, standard ones accessible through keyboard (A...Z, a..e, 0..9, <, +, ...), but also all special characters ( !, &, µ, (, [, ... ). For each character, the table contains its code (number), name, HP-41C LCD displayed character, HP thermal printer character and of course the corresponding bar code. 128 bar codes.Click here to download sample bar codes and test them.
Complete character set table : very handy to directly build any string ! Also useful as reference if you don't have a Wand, for synthetic programming. - (ii) HP-41C Functions Bar Codes
On a single A4 sheet, all HP-41C basic functions (i.e. CAT 3) and paper keyboard (Numeric keys, USER, PRGM, ALPHA, ...). 138 bar codes. Click here to download sample bar codes and test them.
Full HP-41C basic functions paper keyboard. - (iii) Bar Codes sheet for HP-41CX Extended & Time Functions
Two pages in a PDF file, each containing all bar codes for HP-41C X-Functions Module (HP 82180A), Time Module (HP 82182A) and CX specific functions (-CX EXT FNC & -CX TIME) in two formats, as illustrated below, each on one single A4 sheet. 95 bar codes. Click here to download sample bar codes and test them.
HP-41CX specific functions paper keyboard (Complement to HP-41C basic). - (iv) HP-41C Common Peripherals Functions Bar Codes
On single A4 page, all Extended Functions, Time Module, Printer, Card Reader & Wand, including CX specific functions, with XROM reference at left and top. 162 bar codes, specific to this are 36 for Card Reader and 6 for Wand. Click here to download sample bar codes and test them.
HP-41C Common peripheral & extended functions paper keyboard. - (v) HP-IL Module Bar Codes (HP 82160A)
Two pages in a PDF file, each containing all bar codes for HP-IL operations in two formats, as illustrated below, each on one single A4 sheet. 64 bar codes, Printer : 25 codes, Mass Storage : 24 codes, Interface Control : 15 codes. Click here to download sample bar codes. Those are first operations of each sections : Printer, Mass Storage and Interface Control, so that you can test it before buying.
HP-IL functions : Printer, Mass Storage & Interface Control. - (vi) HP-41CX Extended & Time Functions, plus HP-IL Module Bar Codes
>All bar codes for HP-41C X-Functions Module (HP 82180A), Time Module (HP 82182A), CX specific functions (-CX EXT FNC & -CX TIME) and HP-IL Module (HP 82160A) in a more condensed format, all on one single A4 sheet. 159 bar codes. Click here to get the below sample bar codes and test them.
HP-41CX & HP-IL Functions. (A combination of two sheets in a more condensed format.) - (vii) HP-41C & XROM Function Bar Codes Condensed
All above bar codes, in a very condensed format, alphabetically sorted (except first special codes), on one singe A4 sheet !Close to each bar code, at right of function name, the source module / peripheral is indicated between parenthesis. 336 bar codes ! Click here to get the below sample bar codes and test them.
And because I use it myself and found a little difficult to locate a function in the above sheet, I thought about coloring the function name based on its source (HP-41C, X-Fcn, Prt, ...), so got a colored version :
Will it be easier ? Up to you !
- (viii) And more ...
I've recently created bar codes for Math, Games, Advantage, Extended I/O and PCC modules
Of course also included !
All those allow you to write programs even if the modules are not present/plugged in.
Fee: 5.00 Euro for the full set - (Ref.: HP-41C Bar Codes Set)
Custom Bar Codes
I can build almost any kind of bar codes readable by your WAND (see table blow for a list all available bar codes types) :
So if you'd like me to build your own bar codes sheet, just contact me.
Bar codes type
Required input
Single character
Character number (integer from 0 to 127)
Single byte keystroke : number 0-9, '.', EEX, CHS, <- (Del)
Code (from 0 to 15)
Programmable function
Function number (integer from 0 to 255)
Non Programmable function : ON, R/S, PRGM, ...
Function number (integer from 0 to 15)
XROM function
XROM ID (integer), XROM function number (integer)
Numeric data
Number (integer, long, single, double, decimal, byte,
or string)
Alpha string
String or Range of characters (integers) making the alpha string, Append mode
Direct execution code (Complete functions)
Function string to be directly executed
Supported functions : GTO, XEQ, RCL, STO, ST+, DSE, FS?, ...
Ex: GTO ABC; XEQ IND 05; RCL Z;
Sequenced Data bar codes for WAND Revision 1F only
(check your version with CATALOG 2)Sequence number, Data (Numeric or Aphanumeric)
I have 4 sheet / bar codes formats available (see above example) :
- Big codes : Max 96 codes per sheet, in landscape (12 rows of 8 codes)
- Listing form : Max 100 codes per sheet, in landscape (25 rows of 4 codes)
- Small codes : Max 176 codes per sheet, in portrait (22 rows of 8 codes)
- Tiny codes : Max 341 codes per sheet, in portrait (31 rows of 11 codes)
Programs Bar Codes
I can as well produce program bar codes (in either editable or private mode), from either a text or XLS file (one instruction per line), or from .RAW format (= output from V41 emulator) .
As example, the Primes program in private mode (Click to test):
Don't know if any are interested in such a service, just propose it. This service being "made-to-measure", I'll not start working for less than 5.00 Euro, and 2 small programs of 100 lines each request me more work than one big of 500 lines, if you want a separate file for each program ! Not a simple equation, isn't it ? So I'm open to any suggestion.
Fee: From 5.50 Euro, but just contact me if interested - (Ref.: Custom Bar Codes)
Fully in color, but also printable on black & white (see photo, left is B&W, right is in color). Quite better print quality than free available scanned manuals. Almost all is as source text (you can search on in Acrobat reader !), except some complex lists, printer output samples, schema and photos. Tried to be as close as possible to the original (same character format, page layout, page number, ...)
78 pages in best quality, completely reviewed and reformatted, in color (including cover pages), a Benedictine work ! (Click here to have a look at some extracts.)
I really spent too much time to rebuild it from scanned files / images (available for free on Internet, like at The HP-41 Archive Website)
Included as Bonus HP-IL Module, Quick Reference Card
In PDF format, on two A4 pages, recto/verso . (Click here to look at recto page.)
Fee: 5.00 Euro only ! - (Ref.: HP-IL Manual)
Fee: 9.00 Euro - (Ref.: HP-IL/CX Full Package)
Four (4) rechargeable batteries size N (Lady N) for HP-41C Calculator (or any other use : HP-28S, ...).
Type : NiMH
Dim : Ø12 x 30 mm
Volt : 1.2V
Capacity : 500mAh
- MiMH => No memory effect !
- 500 mAh => More Powerful than standard Battery Pac (HP 82120A) !
- Economical compared to one-use batteries, especially with card reader, wand, ...
- Protect your HP-41C with leakproof batteries !
Can be reloaded in NiMH universal charger, or those for AA batteries, with a small metal piece to make contact.
Charging : 10 hours at 50 mA (MAX 16 hours) Don't overload them !
As shown, I've use 4 nuts and bolts for it : diam 5mm rod (with nuts, is about 11 mm), and 20mm long. Difference to an AA cell being about 21.3mm, you get the correct length by unscrewing the nut a little. I've tested them on 3 different chargers (see photo).
Fee: 17.50 Euro - (Ref.: Type N Batteries)
I can provide the 4 nuts and bolts for 1 Euro.
Four (4) rechargeable batteries with soldering terminals to replaced those inside HP 82120A Battery Pac for HP-41C Calculator.
Type : NiMH
Dim : Ø10.2 x 15 mm
Volt : 1.2V
Capacity : 120mAh
- NiMH => No memory effect !
- Gives a second life to your standard Battery Pac (HP 82120A) !
- Economical compared to one-use batteries, especially with card reader, wand, ...
- Protect your HP-41C with leakproof batteries !
- Reloaded with standard HP charger.
Fee: 17.50 Euro - (Ref.: Batteries for Pac )
