50 pages is going to be a lot of work, but it is doable.
Create a formula that will give you the "fudged" print time. It will formula will look something like this:
CurrentDateTime + (0.000016 * (PageNumber - 1))
"0.000016" comes from the way that date math works. The number 1 represents one day (24 hours). So, to get the value for 1 second, I divided 1 by 24 (hours) and the divided the result by 60 (minutes in an hour) and by 60 again and I rounded up the value. So, for each page, you're adding roughly 1 second to the time.
For each page, you'll have to add a separate section to the report (I assume you're using a details section for this...). Place your barcodes using the formula from above. Then format the section and do the following:
1. Turn on "New Page After".
2. Click on the formula button to the right of "New Page After" and add something like the following:
PageNumber >= {?Page Count Parameter}
This will prevent a blank page from printing at the end of the report.
3. Click on the formula to the right of "Suppress" and add something like the following:
{?Page Count Parameter} < [whatever page this section will print]
So, for page 2 it would be {?Page Count Parameter} < 2.
I haven't actually tried this, but I think it will work.
