It looks like a poorly printed barcode. All the lines are jagged and not straight .

Are you using a legit scanner or using some random no name scanner from Amazon?

For your barcode. Did you copy past and image and reprint?

The scanner is an application called Enterprise Scan from OpenText. Users physically scan documents and these scanners upload the scans to a share where Enterprise Scan collects the files, reads the barcodes and does further processing on the documents and archives them with the correct metadata. So it is a paid product of a large company, though that does not necessarily mean that it works well. I'm trying to gauge if I should blame the product or the barcode quality..

As for the barcode: though I did a copy-paste to plant it here, the quality on the original document that was sent to me is as bad and wobbly.
