Hi All

Has anyone generated a GS1 2D matrix or can point me in the way of how to generate this type of data matrix barcode?

I've tried using the datamatrix.net dll but that doesn't support the FNC1 character required. Any help appreciated.

    Looks like you have had the same jouren as me :-(
    I ended up use zint https://sourceforge.net/projects/zint/files/ with the commaned line that created png

    >zint.exe -b 71 --gs1 --square -d "[400]EUPO[91]1003" --scalexdimdp=3.in,2700dpi -o datamatrix.png

    We ended buying OnBarCode DLLs which have proved really useful as we can use these to produce linear Barcode128 as well (which randomly started to having scanning issues). I wrote a wrapper around the DLL and had to add some config settings but it works really well.

    Hello again did you have spaces in your GS1 2D Matrix Barcode?


    zint.exe -b 71 --gs1 --square -d "[400]EUPO[91] 1003" --scalexdimdp=3.in,2700dpi -o datamatrix.png

    Going back some time, I think we had spaces in the 128b barcode, not the Data Matrix.

    What is zint.exe ?

    zint.exe is "Zint Barcode Generator " I use it for generating "GS1 Data Matrix" barcodes as .bmp file.
