why are we getting the >; in our prn file?

We are creating labels in Bartender and exporting to PRN files.  We have moved to 9 digit lot numbers and the human readable is showing the 9 characters, but the barcode will only do 8 or 10 characters.  A google search shows that the >; inside the ^FD block is telling the code 128 barcode to go into a subset which forces the data in the barcode to be numeric pairs.  IE, we can't have odd numbers like 9.

We've hunted in the BTW file to see what we are doing in the creation of the label that would be sending that >; but can't find it.  Is there a switch or something that we can do that will tell it NOT to send that?

thank you,

Robyn

  If you generate your PRN with only alpha characters in the barcode or else change the Code Set to A or B then the PRN will not include the commands to shift to Code Set C that produces reduced size bars/spaces for each pair of numeric characters
