: Printer wants me to make sure the barcode is "100% black ink (K) on a white background" This is what he wrote: Please change barcode so it is 100% black ink (K) on a white background.
This is what he wrote:
Please change barcode so it is 100% black ink (K) on a white background. (A barcode can look black in the proof, but can be built as 5% Cyan, 5% Magenta, 5% Yellow, 85% K for black. The barcode needs to be built as 100% K black)
Does this mean that I have to set the CMYK value in Photoshop to 0,0,0,100?

That's exactly what they mean :) 0 Magenta 0 Cyan 0 Yellow and 100 Black
Bar code rule is to be printed from a single process or spot color (100%C, 100%M, 100%Y, 100%K or 100% spot color). It is not advisable to operate them from several colors, because small deviations may occur during printing (couch paper, mapping colors) and this may affect functionality of printed barcode, which would not be readable in that case.
