Barcodes not Scanning

Thanks Karen,
That actually wasn't my problem. It ended up being that the print quality wasn't high enough on our label printer. I just slowed down the print speed to about 3 Inches per second instead of 4 and now that the quality is higher it works perfectly.

I am having trouble with the barcode font that was provided by Epicor. I have created a crystal report for the labels we need on our prooducts and for our warehouse and bin locations, but for whatever reason they won't scan.

Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong? I have changed the font sizes and what not to ensure the spacing between lines isn't a problem and I have changed the value of the barcode as well.

The scanners work fine on our old labels so I'm assuming there is something funky with the font?

ideas?

Aaron,



I was researching this myself today - and found the answer in the yahoo
group here...I have been able to scan with a reader, but have not
verified beyond that yet...



The font "DataWorks Bar 39" requires an asterisk before and after a data
field for the barcode to be read...For example:

"*"+{ShipDtl.PartNum}+"*"

I am having trouble with the barcode font that was provided by Epicor. I
have created a crystal report for the labels we need on our prooducts
and for our warehouse and bin locations, but for whatever reason they
won't scan.

Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong? I have changed the font
sizes and what not to ensure the spacing between lines isn't a problem
and I have changed the value of the barcode as well.

The scanners work fine on our old labels so I'm assuming there is
something funky with the font?

ideas?

Aaron
