I am having a major issue printing a readable barcode from QT on an epson M-T500 printer thermal receipt printer.

i am using the font from http://www.dafont.com/code-128.font

It prints th ebarcode but somehow its not printing the correct order

I even tried to hardcode the char with ascii code still does not work.

Any help will be much appreciated.

The Barcode text: MHB-6TG-6TG-GGHJ

My sample code:

Qt Code: 
  1. QPrinter printer;
  2.         QPainter painter;       
  3.         painter.begin(&printer);
  4.         double scaleFactor;
  5.         scaleFactor = 1.0;
  6.         QFont barcodefont = QFont("Code128", 32, QFont::Normal);
  7.         barcodefont.setLetterSpacing(QFont::AbsoluteSpacing,1.0);
  8.         painter.setFont(barcodefont);
  9.         char mytext[20];
  10.  
  11.         mytext[0]= 204;
  12.         mytext[1]=77;
  13.         mytext[2]=72;
  14.         mytext[3]=66;
  15.         mytext[4]=45;
  16.         mytext[5]=54;
  17.         mytext[6]=84;
  18.         mytext[7]=71;
  19.         mytext[8]=45;
  20.         mytext[9]=54;
  21.         mytext[0]=84;
  22.         mytext[11]=71;
  23.         mytext[12]=45;
  24.         mytext[13]=71;
  25.         mytext[14]=71;
  26.         mytext[15]=72;
  27.         mytext[16]=74;
  28.         mytext[17]=104;
  29.         mytext[18]=206;
  30.         mytext[19]=0;
  31.         qDebug() << mytext;
  32.         painter.drawText(-30, 370,mytext);
  33.         painter.end();
