Barcode mapping/scanning issues


This is driving me mad. I searched here and Google for a solution but found none. My boss asked me to prepare a simple Excel sheet to reprint labels when data is too old and gone from our WMS. I thought "Very simple! I will just have two cells: one with human font and one below with barcode". I was too quick.

I can key in our product

BZ-BB1/2589 B

But when I scan the barcode I get

BZ'BB1-2589 BB1

The installed barcode font is "Free 3 of 9". Why the minus and slash signs are converted ? How can I solve this? And it seems that some text is repeated at the end. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.


Solution

  • Keyboard layout issue, people with ENG layout keyboard can scan the barcode properly.
