Encoding GS and RS instead of spaces in 2D Symbol

I am printing PDF417 barcodes from our business edge software on a data max printer. This is what I'm getting when inputting information:
2 z 5 5 000 0568 0041 F1000000[)> RS 06 GS 3S00GS4821[Label_Comment][Label_Serial]GS D[Date_of_Manufacture_No_Delim]GS P[Alt_Part_Number]GS 7Q[Label_Qty][Order_Qty_Method]GS 23L[Stocking_Zone] RS E O T
This is how I need it to read out:
[)> 06 3S00 48211600053001 D061423 P8911200P491 7Q10 EA23L1 EOT
comment:
(RS and GS are hexadecimal. When encoded incorrectly, RS and GS can appear as written letters. They should be encoded as virtual data separators. COGNEX identified them as virtual data separators when RS and GS are encoded correctly. The read-out of the barcode will show GS and RS will appear spaces in the read-out.)

Operating System: windows 10

Application: business edge

Hello Philip,

I could not locate an order associated with your account. Unfortunately, we cannot advise on that other system, we can only provide advice for IDAutomation products.

The RS, GS, and EOT are formatted using ASCII codes for IDAutomation products.
PDF417 FAQ

Please be advised that the "Apply Tilde" effect isn't available for PDF417 in all the encoding tools, so one can use Chr() instead.

Please see the example:
The Group Separator (GS), is encoded using ~d029 or Chr(29)
The Record Separator (RS), is encoded using ~d030 or Chr(30)
The End of Transmission (EOT), is encoded using ~d004 or Chr(04)

This information is for use with IDAutomation products only, additionally, if you need help with the data max printer or business edge software, we recommend reaching out to the manufacturers of those products for assistance.
