Hello,

I'm trying to generate one label with one GS1 Barcode compatible.
I have on problems that hope that someone can help me.

I use the Bar Code Type 'DataMatrix'
After I have placed all the tokens inside the barcode value, separated by (char)29 the value appear to be corrected but the GS1 Datamatrix have symbology identifier different from the one generated by the Bar Code.
I need to use the symbology identifier ']d2' but the bar code is always generated with ']d1'

Anyone know how to change this to have a different symbology identifier ?

thanks in advance for the help.
Best Regards

Hi Manuel,

The DataMatrix barcode is not compatible with GS1 in the current version of our product. But we have added an improvement that will be included in the next build.
Now DataMatrix has got the 'ProcessTilde' property with a 'false' value by default.
This property needs to be set to 'true' and to add "~FNC1" at the beginning of the Code expression, so the barcode becomes compatible with GS1.

This is an example of such an expression:

Code: Select all

~FNC1{your_datasource.field_name}
Thank you,
Edward
