The accuracy of the printed barcode (not just sharpness, but bar width and spacing) makes a huge difference in what you can read and what you can't. I created a programming manual for a wireless barcode reader (the first at Saturn, and probably at GM) and the reader was programmed by scanning barcodes. The process to get a "scannable" barcode printed in Word (it's been about 30 years since I created it) was: 1) Copy the barcode from the scanner manual. 2) Use Autocad to define the outlines of each bar in the barcode. 3) Use Ghostscript to fill in the new bars. 4) Profit! Otherwise the barcodes simply would not scan if they were pasted directly into Word. :) Nice demo, thanks!

Hi, Michael! What is the model of the second barcode reader, looks a lot like the psc quick check 500.
I wish I knew! I got it for a few bucks a while ago from eBay.
... wow, ich bewundere Deine Geduld mit dem Bar-Code Reader. Mit der Hand zu schreiben wäre wohl schneller gewesen. 🤣🤣😂😂
@@MeinElektronikHobby es kommt sehr auf die Qualität der Vorlage an. Der UPC auf der Box scannt doch hervorragend.
