Extra Digit Getting Inserted In My 2D Datamatrix
Hello there,
I am trying to print 2D DataMatrix code using the Bartender software. I am tring to use the database connection linking it to an excel sheet. In there I have a col called fnc and I am telling Bartender to generate barcode for this but for some reason the last digit of one of the digit is getting printed twice in the barcode when I scan it with a scanner. I have attached the excel sheet that i am testing with. Below is a sample code read with the hand held scanner. here the 16th digit i.e. digit 9 is getting printed twice for some reason. I tried different codes but no luck. Can somebody please help me!!

That's the GTIN check digit which is being automatically generated by BarTender - check digits should always be calculated as that is how they works. If you cannot change the input field data to remove the check digit value, try this:
In the barcode have two data sources that point to the same field for its data source. However, in the first data source set the transform option to keep only the 15 chars on the left, and for the second data source choose to truncate the 16 chars on the left. This will give you the same input data source for the barcode, minus the unwanted checkdigit which will therefore be generated instead.

Thanks for your feedback!! One question
What do you mean by In the barcode have two data sources. For e.g. in a database table, 2 columns.
I will appreciate your comments.
cheers

Two data sources in the one label object. Both are of the same database field, but with different truncation options in each, in order to only get the bits of the overall data source you want. In other words, either side of the unwanted check digit in the database field data.
