ZPL - Group Separator in a QR Code reads "IJ"

Question

I have been trying to print Group Separators using ZPL, but I can't seem to find a way to do that...

I have tried:

• Copy and paste Group Separator directly in ZPL
• Insert Hex of Group Separator (_1D) in ZPL

ZPL Code to reproduce the problem:

^XA
^FO100,100^BQN,2,6
^FH^FDA,GS--_1d^FS
^XZ

Online ZPL Emulator Result

It prints a QR-Code, however, we get the following string when we scan the QR-Code:

GS-IJ-IJ

It seems like ZPL converts Group Separators into "IJ". I have no idea why this is happening, does anyone know how we can do this?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

It turned out that this was a problem of the emulator. When I printed the label using an actual ZPL printer, the code above correctly create QR Code with Group Separators inside.
