When using a hyphen, barcode does not scan. I can reference and scan barcodes when a hyphen is not present just fine. The template references:
type=“com.objectiflune.connect.addin.barcodes.code128”
Is there an issue with ObjectifLune AddIn causing barcodes with a hyphen to not work? We can create barcodes with hyphens just fine from SQR in our ERP system.
Hi @dchristensen,
Are you referring to a tilde, i.e. “~”?
The internal barcode library has a feature called “tilde processing” which is turned on by default. In that case it is treated as a special control character and it may be missing in the output.
You can turn that feature off in the barcode properties dialog, see the Process Tilde checkbox:
No, a hyphen (“-”). Something happens to the barcode that causes it to become unscanable when this is present.
Ok, I’m not aware of any issues with hyphens. Hopefully someone else will chime in.
Can someone delete this post? I realized we added more data to the barcode, and the element was trimming off the end of the barcode.
Actually, I recommend leaving the post as is. This situation may occur to someone else down the road, and this post may help them track down the issue.
Don’t worry, no one will judge you…
