Bar code with Code128

Hello,

How to make settings in SERP so I can print barcode with style Code128?

We have tried 6 different fonts with no success - barcodes can be printed but they aren't readable with barcode scanner.
Barcode which is printed out in SERP is different with the ones that can be generated online and are readable with barcode scanners.

Also we have tried many combinations with changing font and settings in SERP style card but still could not print out the right barcode.

Code128 requires some HAL programming to make it work. You can't just print the field contents as a barcode, the data has to be modified to include things like a start character, checksum digit etc. We have HAL code which works, if you're interested.
