Reading barcode in MoHPC DVD Scans Message #1 Posted by Les Wright on 31 Dec 2006, 5:54 a.m. I have my eyes peeled for an HP41 barcode wand and I was wondering if anyone has had success reading barcode from scanned materials on the CDs/DVDs. There seems to be artifact in most scans, but is enough integrity present in the barcode to effect a reliable scan? Les

My own personal experience taught me that the printer used makes a big difference, too. I got much better results reading barcodes that were printed on laser printers than ones printed on inkjet printers. Unfortunately, it's been a few years since I last tried this so I don't remember which barcodes I printed and read successfully.

I am interested in barcodes in the HP41 High Level Math book. Any other takers for this question? There must be someone else out there with a wand and the DVD who has tried this recently.... Les
