The IRISPen supports all widespread barcode standards and
types, including the 2D barcodes PDF 417 and QR barcode. The
IRISPen supports bearer bars drawn around the barcodes.
To be legible, the barcodes must be well-contrasted and printed
with laserprinters and inkjet printers (not matrix printers), and meet
the following conditions:
- The barcode must be at least 0.3" (0.75 cm) high
- The narrow bar should be at least 12 mils (0.012" or 0.3 mm.).
Do not try to read tinier barcodes, the resolution of the pen scanner
will not suffice.
To read barcodes:
• In the Application window, select the Barcodes scan type. See:
Basic settings, Reading options, Scan type.
You do not have to indicate which barcode type you are going to
read. Even various types of barcodes can be mixed for the
scanning. The IRISPen will automatically detect the barcode
type and read it.
• If you want to read barcodes on top of another type of data,
select the Barcodes option in the Application window. See:
Basic settings, Reading options, Other.
