Can I scan barcodes on my computer screen?
Posted on Sep 1, 2010
To see the answer, click here:
Any 2 dimensional barcode reader, also called an imager, will read these codes when displayed on a LCD screen. They will read both 1 dimensional barcodes like we see on all retail products, plus also 2 dimensional barcodes such as portable data files.
One thing to be careful of is the reflective nature of certain screens which can cause reduced read rate.
And to confirm, a standard laser scanner used for 1 dimensional barcodes will not read the barcode on an electronic screen. The barcodes will have to be printed onto paper.
