barcode problem in zebra coding

[Former Member]

I used a barcode type ^BY3,3.0FO46,1268^{B3N,N,123,N,Y}FR^FN998FS while developing a script with zebra coding. It is working for all alpha numerics but it is not printing '#'.

Can any one suggest me which barcode allows the '#'.

^B3 specifies code39 bar code, which does not support a pound sign...

see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_39]

at the same link you can see information on extended code 39, and also look into code128, which does support the poundsign.

an issue you will ahve is that if these are outbound partner labels, the symbology may be dictated to you such that you HAVE to use code39.

for info on the ZPL code, see [http://www.scribd.com/doc/9614820/Zebra-Manual-ZPL2]
