Hi all, 

In my company, we're struggling with printing special characters (é, à, ù, ...) in our barcodes in BarTender. We use the GS1 standard and for barcodes, we normally use the GS1-128 barcode type. 

Is there something that I should activate in BarTender? Or is it the barcode type that I should change? 

In the below picture, you can see that Bartender doesn't show the special characters in the barcode.

  I could be wrong but I believe you can only encode ASCII 32 to ASCII 127 characters in GS1 barcodes and so the letters with accents are not recognised as they can not be encoded.
