Extra characters at the end of Code 39 barcodes?

[DavidLee82]

Hi,

I am now trying to develop a module that will use Stimulsoft Reports for Web to print bar code stickers for cartons as per requests from our users. This report is to be fed to a SATO brand label printer.

We are supposed to use Code 39 as this is what our scanners can read.

Our code is a four-character customer code (one letter and three numbers), a ten-character department code that must be space-padded (this can be 10 blank spaces to indicate that the customer does not have departments) and lastly a ten-character code, again space-padded, identifying the carton.

However I noticed that the barcodes generated by Stimulsoft has an added extra character at the end. We generally do not want this character there.

Provided are the screenshots of the generated barcode and the attempt to read the code, notice how an extra "M" character got added to the barcode. This letter seems to change based on the code.

I have also attached a copy of the report with the connection code removed.

Kindly advise if it's possible to remove the character. Thanks.

Hello,

You can set the CheckSum=No property.

Hi, now we are having another issue.

When the label is generated, we get it as intended. However when we try to print it or even preview it, the font did not apply.

When we try to print it, things are even worse, the font size are all off.

Owing to the age of the printer we are using a Windows 7 PC with Chrome to print the report

Kindly advise, thanks.

Hello,

How do you load fonts - in the report resources or StiFontCollection?

Thank you.
