Hello everyone, 
I'm programming to print bar code using ELP 2 language for zebra printer TLP 2844, but when printing bar code, if number of characters is odd (e.g 321), it auto adds an leading zero (0), how do I get rid of that? 
Thanks.
Thanh.

In certain barcodes, such as Code128, there is a "compressed" numeric format that encodes two digits per character position. You are probably running into that. You may be able to force your encoding software to avoid, in this case, code C (the two digit format).

This is the standard that is followed by Zebra Barcode printers to adopt to EAN 13 Encoding.
