barcode printing to SATO printer with dds coding

[Guest.Visitor]

Lisa, Since I don't read Sato language, what is the barcode format you are specifying? 3of9, UPC, etc. Bill LISA_PATTESON wrote: > I have created a label with several barcode fields on it, using > coding in DDS.

Lisa, I'm sorry, I didn't catch it the first time; you don't know what the codes mean. I did a search for SATO language samples and didn't come up with anything, so lets try this intuitively: '^H075^V350^B103090*' - this is the prefix for XREF that doesn't work. '^H200^V560^B103100*' - this is the prefix for CYARDS that does work. I would assume that the H and V portions are positional entries, that leaves the B entry. This must be the barcode specifier. We see that they are different, so the first thing I'd try would be to put the B103100 on XREF instead of B103090. If this doesn't work; what is the content of XREF? There are some characters that do not print in a 3of9 code. Bill LISA_PATTESON wrote: > I have created a label with several barcode fields on it, using > coding in DDS.

the difference in the B entry between the 090 & the 100 just changes the size of the barcode. The XREF field that won't scan contains 'EF5446-WH001'. There is another field that won't scan. It contains 'E0000529213'. when I remove the E from the front of this field, it does scan. Thanks for all your help, Lisa

If it scans, I'd say you're experiencing a length of field restriction - maybe in your scanner. Bill

I have created a label with several barcode fields on it, using coding in DDS. The label looks fine, but when I try to scan the barcodes, only the ones that are all numeric scan. The barcodes that contain alphanumeric characters don't scan, that is, nothing happens when I hit them with the scanner. This is all coded in DDS, & I don't know what most of it means. Below is an example of the code. The CYARDS barcode scans, and the XREF barcode does not. Please help!! lisa_patteson@hotmail.com
