Re: HP-41 Bar Code Reader Message #5 Posted by Tony Duell (UK) on 21 June 2003, 4:08 p.m., in response to message #1 by Chris Catotti (Florida)
I have 2 HP41 wands. One is a WAND 1F, the other a WAND 1E. The 1E version has 2 major differences.
Firstly,, it can't read the sequenced data barcodes (types 9, 10, 11). Secondly, it has problesm withnumeric data barcode over a certain length (which is not sufficient for 10 digits + 2 exponent digits + all the separators, etc). That's why my sdatabar program has a -E flag which attempts to generate
readable barcode for the 1E wand, even if this means losing the least significant digit.
