   Hi Tom, that is the correct code and it is referred to as UPC-5. If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to call 888.412.7226. Goodluck with your new company!

   Hi,

   I am making an mobile application to scan a 2D barcode. My question is.

   What is relation between the mega pixel of camera and size of 2d barcode,

   Is it possible that my 2MP camera scans a 1cm barcode,

   Thanks in advance

   Regards,
   Saurabh

   Hi Saurabh,

   The fewer megapixels a camera has, the more difficult a QR code is to scan. Also, the more complex your QR code is, the more you should consider size- 1 inch by 1 inch is generally a safe size regardless of content. I would say two megapixels is a bit low. For example, an iPhone 4 with a 5-megapixel camera can read some QR codes that an iPhone 3G with a 3-megapixel camera can’t. Most importantly, if you are creating an app, it’s important to focus on testing a variety of different phones with different camera resolutions.

    I love the RedLaser app from eBay, and it got me thinking…

    I work at a garden center and we have a big problem with locating inventory. We would sell a lot more plants and same a lot of time if we could find them faster!

    I have a wireless/GPS guru who could map the plant label barcode with GPS to within 5 feet, then save the location to a searchable availability database.

    But right now, I need a smart phone app with a horticulture DB to get senior management interested.

    Can you suggest anyone I might contact?

    Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone knew of a web based software system to communicate & customize barcode PLU sheets?

    Ideally, looking for a system where we could generate our UPC’s, have the barcode art upload with the product description and then our retailers could access and customize a PLU sheet based on the products they carry.

    Does anything like this exist?

    Thanks,
    Sarah

    Hi. I need to refurbish or buy some new scanners for our Audience View ticketing system. We currently have Motorola Symbol MC 5040 scanners. Can you give me information where I can buy used ones or get these fixed?

    Thanks,

    Does anyone by chance have a manual for a LS3203-ER scanner. I need to set some configuration settings, but have no way of doing it. Spent over an hour searching the internet, but couldn’t find the manual because it is a dis-continued scanner. I want to set the scanner for all caps when scanning.
