A group separator is a non-printable character.  Characters of this type can be added to barcodes; however, they must be added through the use of a specific Formula command.  The command is CHAR().

To use the CHAR() to add a group separator between 1234 and 5678:

1. Click Data sources > Formula > Add.

2. Enter a Name for the formula, for example BarcodeFormula.

3. Type “1234” & CHAR(29) & “5678” in the empty textbox. The ASCII Code for a Group Seperator is 29.  The CHAR(29) section will add a Group Separator between 1234 and 5678.

4. Click OK.

 

5. Click Data sources > Formula > BarcodeFormula > Place, then select a location on the label.

6. A menu will appear, choose Barcode.

Note:  The same process can be followed to add Record Separators by changing 29 to 30.  The ASCII code for a Record Separator is 30.
