I would not say it's the reader that's important (most readers can scan just about anything now a days), but the application. For example, in retail it's always going to be UPC-A, possibly -E. Distribution of goods will use UCC-EAN128. But if your labeling test tubes in a lab, then it's probably going to be 3 of 9, unless you have space restrictions. Then you might end up using Code 128, which is for high-density applications. You need to fully spec out how and where it will be used to determine the Symbology, type of label material, printing process, and the type reader that will be required.

I'll ask but I don't think she'll know. I'm not sure she wants to read - her requirement was for printing labels. So I'll have to find out who is going to read them and how. What's the most universal format - Code 39?

Start there. Different readers use and can read different codes. Get a list of codes the reader can decipher.

A bit of Googling reveals a lot of different bar code schemes. Is there a preferred bar code symbology?
