[AccessD] Bar Codes

  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.

That's a good idea.  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?

My first inclination is to ask the client what bar-code reader they will
use.
Start there.  Different readers use and can read different codes.  Get a
list of codes the reader can decipher.

Dear List:

I have a client who wants to print bar coded labels. A bit of Googling
reveals a lot of different bar code schemes.  Is there a preferred bar code
symbology?
