Hi Ed, 2009/11/3 Roche III, Edward <edward_roche@solanco.k12.pa.us>:
Good Morning All
I have an issue/curious question. Is there a difference in barcode format “Code 39 Mod 10” and normal “Code 39”?
Code 39 Mod 10 includes a Mod 10 checksum and so is different. Code 39 is known as a "self-checking" format and so really does not need a checksum.
The weird part is the scanner is reading both and entering the correct value for each but when you submit the Code 39 Mod 10 it says it can’t find the barcode but if you scan the Code 39 barcode it works fine.
I'm guessing a little here, but you probably have to setup your scanner for Code 39 Mod 10 in order to get the checksum digit decoded properly. Personally, I think I'd whip up a script to change the Code 39 Mod 10 barcodes to plain Code 39. Kind Regards, Chris
