1d barcode scanner coding

[JL-F1]

I used barcorama.zip

I finds the squareness of the touch pro to the barcode matters most, and steady hands

I use the fastpricecheck link posted and it brings up ie with the description and price, found some crackers for my wife, lol

same difference if I use reg or speedy.... must be my "technique"! I'm sure the 2 pots of coffe and half pack of cigarettes don't help the steadiness either.

works perfectly! has anyone tried the speedy version compared to the other?

[joey_p777]

OK think I got it! haven't had luck with speedy, but reg seems to be working. Black/white barcodes seem to be the best, filling about 60-70 percent of landscape screen, and lots of clean flourescent lighting. I think that was my problem? Ambient room light just doesn't cut it. Went into the basement, flourescent fixtures every 4-6 feet, and i'm shooting like 90% now. (Black and white bars only though) Any other colors, especially those where there's not a huge gradient difference is 40-50%.

BTW - all shots are saved to directory or folder where .exe sits. I had to delete like 500 shots! Guess you could fill a card @ 3.2MP superfine if not cleaned out periodically...

sometimes the camrea doesnt respond by pressing the middle d-pad button

so i have to touch the screen and then press the dpad

is this happening for anyone else?

for people who are having problems getting a read on barcodes try scanning with the bar code upside down. seems to work better for me

hey joey how do you do the superfine settings?

[joey_p777]

open camera - touch the screen - touch options (wheel/gear icon) - choose advanced - quality (page 1 i think) - superfine - OK

I'm not sure if it makes a difference in barcorama, but pics in general seem more sharp...

what website does the g1 use? I mean fastpricecheck works good, but seems like amazon is the only one it pulls up
