Hello,

So I am trying to create a custom QR with the following code:
ext.barcode = bc$ (1010, 4, "Hello" , BC2D_SET_MODE (0x01) + BC2D_SET_LEVEL (0x01) + BC2D_SET_COLUMNS (0x00))

So, as you can see, I'm trying to have the QR code display "Hello". However, I receive the following text on scan:
AAAD8gAAAAQAAAAFAAAEQA==Hell

You can try scanning the attached barcode yourself.

Hello,

Windows platform/BwPrint
The barcode type points to a barcode type. Check the barcode-1D and/or barcode-2D test in the Help menu of BwPrint for available barcode types. The number of available barcode types depend on the thirdparty software from dlSoft. This software is used to generate the barcode images.

Non-Windows platforms
The barcode type points to a shell script that is used to generate the barcode. This script is printer and customer specific. The script is stored in the $BSE/lib/barcode directory. The script name has the form 'type xx ', where xx gets a leading zero for a barcode type with a value lower than 10. For example 'type02' or 'type100'. The script is called by the printer daemon/filter in the form (quotes are added, to surround the barcode caption): $BSE/lib/barcode/type type 'barcode 'rows.

Regards
