GS1 DataMatrix Barcode - Bartender adding space before first character

Hi,

A customer label requires a 2D barcode. I'm using the GS1 Datamatrix barcode on my template design. 

This is what the data is supposed to look like:

 

I have the barcode set up so that the data sources come from an Excel database (see below). 

The problem is that when the barcode is generated through Bartender - a SPACE appears before the first character. See the screenshot from an app which checks the data string – the data is highlighted in red because there are errors. The error is that there is an extra space at the beginning – which I’ve highlighted to show.

When that space is removed, the 2D scans correctly. 

 

This is doing my head in so any advice would be appreciated!  

 

Thanks

  It looks to me like it should be a standard Datamatrix as the code is not following the GS1 format with the application identifiers. A GS1-128 also starts with a function 1 character and so that is showing up a s space when you scan I would suggest.
