View source for Troubleshooting: Preview Barcode report - There are invalid characters in the text

'''Question :''' My ItemCode is “ABc123”and I have set itemcode as my barcode. When I preview the barcode report,  it shows an error “ There are invalid characters in the text”. Why?

<b>Version :</b> 1.8 / 1.9 / 2.0

<u><b>Possible Reason :</b></u>

The barcode was set with wrong ‘Character Set’.


<u><b>Solution :</b></u>

When item code is ABc123, its character set should be Charset B. But in system report, the default Character Set is Charset A.<br/><br/>

1)	To change character set, click on the <span style='color:red'>Barcode</span>, go to <span style='color:red'>Property Grid > Symbology > Character Set</span>, change it to <span style='color:red'>Charset B</span>, and save as a new report name.

2)	Try to preview the report.

<u><b>Remark :</b></u>

By default AutoCount uses the symbology of Code 128 and AutoCount will use this as an example. Code 128 consists of 3 set of character set – Charset A, Charset B and Charset C. The differences of these 3 character sets are as below:<br/><br/>

'''Charset A''' – Supports ASCII characters 00 to 95 (0-9, A-Z, Control Codes), Special Characters and FNC 1-4.<br/><br/>

'''Charset B''' – Supports ASCII characters 32 to 127 (0-9, A-Z, a-z), Special Characters and FNC 1-4.<br/><br/>

'''Charset C''' – Supports “00-99″ and certain Special Characters.<br/><br/>

'''Note :''' Please seek assistance from your software dealer if the problem still persists after performing the steps as above.
