Printing Special Characters

Legacy Poster

I have data being passed to BarTender that contains a special character for micro ( µ ). The printed label contains an extra unwanted character before the micro character that looks like an Angstrom (could be another with a tilda above a capital A). When I open the processed label file in notepad, do not change any data, but save the file, then reprocess the label, the label prints correctly. The special character was entered into the original data using Alt+0181. I have tried different Fonts, but the file still process with the extra unwanted character. We have all Zebra S4M printers. Any ideas to check?

  How are you passing the data to BarTender, via a database connection perhaps? If yes, make sure that the proper encoding is being selected.

   

  Furthermore, what Edition, version and build of BT do you have? What printer driver (and version) have you installed for the Zebra printer?

   

  As the font to be used, have you tried with Windows fonts (True Type e.g.) without having the font substitution checkbox enabled?

  Can you confirm that you have selected the proper encoding in the Database connection?

   

  What Edition, version and build of BarTender do you have? (You can check it clicking on BarTender "Help" menu > "About" item)

   

  Are you using True Type fonts or printer fonts?

   

  In your Commander Task > "Trigger" tab can you let me know which "File Encoding" have you selected?
