I’m no expert, but have recently been down this route. Perhaps you have already read post Human Readable Barcode Font. If not, it makes a couple of good points. It mentions why Code 39 is preferred to Code 128. The barcode font in the Out of Box (OoB) SSRS reports are all DataWorks DW39. It comes with Epicor; you just have to add it to the report server. The “Print Bar Codes” checkbox on
Company Configuration>Modules>Material>Inventory>General tab under Options will cause all SSRS Reports with barcodes to print barcodes. If you don’t want to deploy barcodes everywhere, leave that box unchecked and check it at the Print SSRS dialog box for those reports on which you do want barcodes to print. I found it necessary to move some fields around, for example on the Job Traveler, the OoB SSRS report placed the Job and the Asm (assembly sequence) fields next to one another. I found it necessary to move the Asm barcode to the right of the report so that the two fields could be scanned independent of each other. I have had good luck with Symbol LS2208 1d barcode scanners. There’s a lot of information on this site for integrating Bartender with Epicor. It seems like labeling, and barcoding are joined at the hip, and are limited only by one’s imagination.
