Hello,

I need to add an ASCII character into the beginning of a GS1_128 barcode for USPS. The character is CHR(128) for the FNC1. How can I do this? Or can you recommend a different format approved by USPS?

This is what I have so far:

XMPBarcode("GS1_128", |->[IMPBDIGITS], "HideReadableText=true")

If you are looking for the FNC1 character to add to the GS1_128 barcode, look at this page in the documentation:

Where do I place the hide readable text command within this formula?

XMPBarcode("GS1_128", substring(|->[IMPBDIGITS], 0, 12) & "\\F" & substring(|->[IMPBDIGITS], 13, Length(|->[IMPBDIGITS])), " EscapeSequences=true")

I believe that would be:
XMPBarcode("GS1_128", substring(|->[IMPBDIGITS], 0, 12) & "\\F" & substring(|->[IMPBDIGITS], 13, Length(|->[IMPBDIGITS])), " EscapeSequences=true;HideReadableText=true")
