I looked at their page and their .dfs files are the pcl 5 soft font
definition you need.  Just ftp them to your system like

put xxxx.dfs   /SYS/HPENV/BCODE;rec=-1,1,b,ascii;rec=ZZZZZZZ

where ZZZZZZZ is the size in bytes of the xxxx.dfs file

then when you make your file equation

FILE LP???;DEV=LP???;.....;ENV=BCODE.HPENV.SYS

but to print the barcode you cannot use the old 2934 escape sequence you
must change it
to select to font by the font number  %33(NNNNX  where NNNN is the font
number they give you in the font name.  (ie C3925501.DFS NNNN=25501) Then
print your barcode data ( if you use code39 it must end and begin with * ie
*12345*) then you must select back to the default font the original font
%33(3@

so your code would have to look like this
023300     05                        FILLER PIC X(01) VALUE %33.
023400     05                        FILLER PIC X(05) VALUE
023500        "(NNNNX".
023600     05  HD02-PL-NO                   PIC X(12) VALUE SPACES.
023700     05                        FILLER PIC X(01) VALUE %33.
023800     05                        FILLER PIC 3X. VALUE "(3@".
