Barcodes No Longer Working/Printing

For some reason the barcodes are no longer working.

I re-applied the barcode to the salesID field and that corrected the problem.

However the same does not work for the Item Code on the invoice.

This field is set to {Loc}

The printout prints out the number not the barcode..
Here is the current code for that field, that worked perfectly up until last night, it looks like the code has changed itself - but no matter what I do I cannot get it to work anymore.. <td align="center" class="td" style='font: 14pt/normal "3 of 9 Wide"; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;'>
     <p>!{Loc}! </p>
     <p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Microsoft Sans Serif; font-size: 9pt;" span="">{Loc} </p>
    </td>

Re: Barcodes No Longer Working/Printing

Just a quick update on this - it would appear that the code:

barcode="3 of 9 Wide">{SaleID}

no longer produces a barcode and needs to be changed to:

barcode="code39">{SaleID}

However that produces a very squashed unreadable barcode, and still does not work on the {loc} field

Re: Barcodes No Longer Working/Printing

It's probably easiest to reapply a blank invoice by selecting the frame, right click and select the invoice layout you use.
Then apply the barcode attribute again.

Re: Barcodes No Longer Working/Printing

No.. does not work - even from scratch as a test.. this is more than annoying - it was working perfectly ok, now it is not... now wasting my time trying to sort this out... what has changed to your program to make this happen?

Re: Barcodes No Longer Working/Printing

You can't apply the barcode attribute to the {Loc} field (you never could), the only way is to use CSS as you have already.

You have probably moved from V3.2 to V3.3, so now only HTML5 and CSS3 are valid.

In HTML5 the <P> tag will not inherit the barcode font from the <TD> tag. So you need to take away the first <P> tag.

Re: Barcodes No Longer Working/Printing

Thank you..

However simply removing the 1st <p> tab does nothing, I am using version 3.3.. is there a way I can go back to version 3.2 as I must have the barcode in that field otherwise the program is pointless for me...

Also can a future workaround be created for this?

Re: Barcodes No Longer Working/Printing

You don't need a workaround, just make sure you are using valid HTML5 and CSS3, this works.

<td align="middle" class="td">
            <p style='font: 14pt "3 of 9 Wide"'>!{Code}!</p>{Code}

Thanks Andrew...

The code is still not working, but I am unsure what you mean about using valid HTML5 and CSS3 - is this not controlled by Packing Partner..

Re: Barcodes No Longer Working/Printing

Packing Partner uses HTML5 and CSS3 for it's printing functionality.

If you've use the same HTML that I have posted, that does work.

Re: Barcodes No Longer Working/Printing

Not sure what I am doing wrong then... below is a copy of the relevent part of my code, which does get automatically altered as well for some reason... is there an error?<tbody id="items">
   <tr title="Items" id="items">
    <td align="middle" class="td" style="border: 1px solid currentColor; border-image: none;">
     <p>{Img} </p>
    </td>
    <td align="middle" class="td">{Qty}
    </td>
    <td align="middle" class="td">
     <p style='font: 14pt/normal "3 of 9 Wide"; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;'>!{Loc}! </p>{Loc}
    </td>
    <td class="td"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Microsoft Sans Serif; font-size: 9pt;">{Title} </span>
    </td>
    <td align="right" class="td">{Cost}
    </td>
    <td align="right" class="td">{Total}
    </td>
   </tr>
