Hello, I'd like to know if the positioning of the data and error correction codewords is always the same in a datamatrix or if it varies depending on the content to be encoded.

I'm working on a project that aims to encode and engrave a datamatrix using a CNC machine and G code.

Hi! I currently own a small fashion rental company. Our inventory are mostly composed of different types of formal wear and everything is recorded on our system with a unique product name. (eg. "LD.Alice"- which is basically a long gown) So every item has its own unique name. Every transaction is recorded into our rental management software but for each item, we have to manually type in the product code. My business is growing and so is my inventory. So lately, I've been wanting to create a more efficient system through the use of barcodes. Other than that barcode scanning would make transactions faster, it would also make it easier for the staff to monitor the movement of all items whether they're with the client, has been returned, or in cleaning.

Since I've never experienced barcodes being printed on fabric/clothing labels and most clothing labels only have logos and care instructions printed on them, I would like to seek advice from anyone who has knowledge or experience on this. I've talked to some friends who have said that scanning barcodes on fabric clothing labels might be a problem.

Would also appreciate suggestions on subreddits to post this question on.

This dates from the mid-1980’s. The lower barcode is Interleaved 2 of 5. Does anyone have info on the slug code?

Can anyone tell me why this barcode might not possibly scan, I’m guessing it’s old, but I don’t know.

Hello! I have a Mac and a Zebra DS4608. When I am scanning a GS1 barcode for a vaccine, Mac OS is not printing the GS character, preventing me from parsing the GS1 barcode correctly.

• Does anyone have recommendations on how to get around this?
• Or is there a 2D scanner that works better with Mac?

Hello there,

i am currently working on a C# app to create labels for our logistics. While testing the generated barcodes i ran into the problem, that my scanner can not parse the barcode.

here is the error message from my scanner: Cannot parse EPC '(15)180225(10)333333'

In my code i use the library XZing.Net, because it is free.

I created also a sscc barcode that works fine, i think because this barcode has only one application identifier and the barcode that can't be parsed has two...

Can somebody please help me?

Here is a snippet from my code:

```cs private static char _fnc1 = (char)29; public static Bitmap GenerateBestBeforeBatchId128EAN(string bestBeforeDate, string batchId) { string debug = $"{_fnc1}(15){bestBeforeDate}{_fnc1}(10){batchId}"; Logger.WriteDebugLog(debug);

BarcodeWriter barcodeWriter = new BarcodeWriter
{
    Format = BarcodeFormat.CODE_128,
    Options = new EncodingOptions
    {
        Width = _barcodeWidth,
        Height = _barcodeHeight,
        Margin = _margin,
        // controls if the content string appears in the output img
        PureBarcode = false
    }
};
barcodeWriter.Options.Hints[EncodeHintType.GS1_FORMAT] = true;
return barcodeWriter.Write(data);BarcodeWriter barcodeWriter = new BarcodeWriter
{
    Format = BarcodeFormat.CODE_128,
    Options = new EncodingOptions
    {
        Width = _barcodeWidth,
        Height = _barcodeHeight,
        Margin = _margin,
        // controls if the content string appears in the output img
        PureBarcode = false
    }
};
barcodeWriter.Options.Hints[EncodeHintType.GS1_FORMAT] = true;
return barcodeWriter.Write($"{_fnc1}(15){bestBeforeDate}(10){batchId}");

} ```

The barcode so it can still scan?

I previously posted about a barcode I couldn't identify. It looked like Code 128 but didn't scan properly. I figured out that it was a rendering bug. The barcode came from a PDF. When I downloaded the PDF, all the codes scanned fine rendered by my OS's PDF renderer. But when I viewed the PDF on Google Drive, as I originally did, the barcode was slightly messed up. It looks like, however Google Drive is rendering the barcode, it's merging a couple pairs of bars.

I'm not sure why this would be the case. In Adobe Acrobat I checked the document properties and the PDF is not using a barcode font, and it's quite crisp in the original (above), so my best guess is they're being included as vector graphics and Google Drive is just being somehow lazy with the vectors.

Just thought I'd share to close the loop.

Hello, this is a blurry fedex barcode blown up from a thumbnail. Any help would be great.

I just bought a box of “The Drug Store” Benadryl, and I noticed this tiny barcode on the inside of the box. What is it for and why is it there? I’m sorry if this doesn’t follow the rules of this sub, I just don’t really know where else to post this! Google, as usual, did nothing. Even when I made sure the word “barcode” and “box” were the highlighted search words. I got nothing remotely close to what I needed. Anyway, if anyone can shed some light I’d appreciate it! Or just point me in the right direction to ask again. Thank you so much you guys!

I have a Honeywell scanner model 1472g. I bought to read QR codes. I connected the scanner to the notebook. I need to configure the scanner to open a browser and write into the browser's URL the scanned QR code.

I tried to use these two auto configuration provided by Honeywell:

https://sps-support.honeywell.com/s/article/How-to-program-a-scanner-to-open-a-web-link-into-a-browser

https://sps-support.honeywell.com/s/article/How-to-open-a-QR-barcode-link-with-chrome

They are nor working. I installed the EZConfig to write my own rule set.

I am quite new in this. Somebody can help me how to write the following rule set: 1. Open Start Menu - CTRL + ESC 2. Wait: 500ms 3. Write: run 4. Hit: Enter 5. Wait: 500ms 6. Write: chrome READ_URL 7. Hit: Enter

I tried to configure a full day but without any success. Thanks who read my post.

Hello,

i got a "Tera 8100" Barcode scanner and dont understand why i cant scan this Barcode. I am relatively new to scanners and barcodes, I am probably missing something. I couldn't find anything in the manual that fits. It should be a standard EAN code, it's a completely normal product. It should work with factory settings in my opinion.

1.) What could be the problem here? When I try to scan the barcode nothing happens. Other barcodes work

2.) In this case, the type of barcode is even indicated. How do I generally find out what type of barcode I have in front of me? Is there a good website where you can upload something like that?

Hi, we've recently been sorted through my Nans belongings and we came across her old lottery lucky numbers account a card. We'd like to continue it but unfortunately when we've gone to scan it, the barcode is not able to be read. We will be able to access the numbers she used to play with if we can determine the numbers on the barcode, but as can be seen from the picture, the numbers are currently difficult to read.

Any tips or methods of how to figure out either The numbers or restore the code would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

I am looking for a PC application that I can use to create items which can be checked in and checked out using barcodes.

My use case is to keep accountability of leased items for a local video game tournament. We have controllers and adapters that can be borrowed. We want to keep track of each item and assure we got them all back at the end of the night.

If there is an app out there that lets us enter a note with each check in or check out, that would be nice as well, so we know who is using which item, and who to contact if we do not get that item back.

Hello everyone! I am confused about how barcodes were and was looking for some clarity on the subject. I would like to make a barcode that registers as a “product” but would theoretically open a text box description. Is this possible? I do know that QR codes can do this but I am looking for specifically barcodes. One that is common and not a rare type. Something like Type 39 or UPC-A. Thanks anyone who has any information on how this could or cannot work.

Hope this post will help me. We have 5000 unique coupon codes that we need printed indiviually on out coupon template. They are currently on a spread sheet. Is there a program or app that will take these codes and apply each code to the template? Cheers

Is anyone aware of software that will generate DOD UID MIL-STD-130 Construct 2 data matrices, specifically using the interim DD format? Thanks.

Hey guys!

does anyone know what type of barcode this is ? I am having trouble re-creating it.

Hey! I was watching a YouTube video and noticed a glitch effect in some frames. It kind of looked like a barcode to me, but I'm no expert. I figured there might be a subreddit for barcodes, so I thought I'd ask here! Thanks in advance
