Code 39 Barcode "1" has a hard time being read by scanners


Attached is the image for "1" as a barcode. Some scanners seem to have a hard time reading this. Mine does not. What do you recommend to do in order to fix this?

Items in my database are 1,2,3,4...etc auto increment.

Barcode For "1"


Solution

  • Looks like your intercharacter spacing is two white spaces wide. Have you tried tightening it up a little? Some scanners are picky about it even though it isn't officially equal to 1 narrow white bar.
