Barcode Printing in MII12.0

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have taken EAN128 as barcode type and barcode text is Batch , Piece and weight

But scanner does not distinguishes between these three that is batch,piece and weight

Is there any way to include delimiters like $ between barcode lines (not in text but the black and white vertical lines) which could help to distinguish between barcode text

Shall i use some other barcode type?

I have checked Guard lines and start stop text also but it does not help

Any suggestions please

Thanks

Well, There are identifiers you should use

But, parsing is still done ( i.e. code written by you) by your application.

Hi Christian,

Thanks for the reply

I tried giving following as the barcode text

(10) &Local.Batch (320)& Local.batch1

It does not recognizes the (320)

if i give (10) &Local.Batch& (320)& Local.batch1

then it shows 320 also in text

Please could you elaborate more on this

Thanks

You have to write some application logic to parse the data out of your barcode. There is no real way around it. The identifiers are a standard way for you app to know what data is in the read.

So your app looks at the first 2 digits. They == 10, ok, now you know the next n digits are the batch, next number is 32, is it followed by a 0? Then there is my weight.

Also, you probably do not want to encode the "(" and ")" in the barcode.

Hi Christian ,

What logic?

Please can you give me one example

Or little more elaboration

If i would get little more idea how to parse the application identifiers that would be great

Thanks

Parse the data. The link editor has some nice built in functions that can help make it easier:

stringindexof( String , search )

stringpart( String , start , length )

Hi Christian,

I didnt undesrtand first in barcode text i should put application identifier like (10) and while printing barcode i should replace this with space but how it will help

How can i make application identifier invisible

What is the $ equivalent application identifier ?

As when batch$Weight$Piece is given

scanner reads it but this dollar should not be visible in barcode labels

How can I make it invisible

Thanks
