c# scanner scan barcode

I'm now trying to create an web application or software, whatever, by c# to achieve a process -- when I scan a piece of paper(contains barcode) using my office scanner, the software or web application will automatically get the the barcode content.

I'm now a bit confusing of how to achieve this. Anyone has idea about this? Do I need to call the Scanner's API or something? My scanner brand is EPSON.

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • This will give you a general idea on creating your desired application

    • At first you have to capture the image from the scanner using TWAIN or using Windows image Acquistion
    • Then you have to read the bar code from the image.You can use some third party libraries to read the barcode.
