Non-Electronic DS-156

Which DS156 should we use for H4
Hi
I am getting married next month. We took an appointment for her h4 visa stamping at chennai.
I am collecting all the documents required for her H4 now.
I went to chennai consulate web site and found the list of documents required to submit for H4.
Under Required Documents,Photos, and Fees section they mentioned
-- A fully completed and signed Visa Application Form - DS-156
and when i click on above line a pdf document got opened.
But in the same web page down below there is a link which says
Please note that all of these application forms may be downloaded from http://travel.state.gov/visaforms.html.
when I click on this link it takes to Electronic Visa application forms page where I can fill the details and then It generates the pdf on fly with the data I entered and a Barcode.
I used this method while sending my passport to St. Louis for revalidation about 3 months back.
Now my question is for my wife H4 which form should we use.
The normal pdf, which I get by clicking the first link in the page
OR the Electronic version which generates on fly with Barcode.
Please let me know what form you used when your wife or relative went for H4 recently.
Any help in this regard is appreiated
Thanks

From:http://evisaforms.state.gov/:
at Bottom of the page it mentions:
"Available e-Forms
Nonimmigrant Visa Applications
DS-156: Nonimmigrant Visa Application
DS-1648: Application for A, G, or NATO Visa (For Applicants Applying in the U.S. Only)
Note: If your system does not support the minimum requirements specified above or** you choose not to use the electronic visa application forms**, then please use the Non-Electronic Visa Application Forms web page. "
As per above allowed option,if we only use non-electronic form,we will not have any bar code on the application .
