Hi Terry,
If you want to create your own bar code labels you need a lazer printer to
do so because it is my understanding that the scanners need to have labels
created by lazer printers. Bar code labels can be created in MS Word.

Mike I suspect you didn't get much reply because most people don't
really understand how valuable such things are. To be able to scan
anything in you home including cd's and DVD's and no what they are for
those of us who don't have sighted assistance at our beck and call is
worth the frustrations. Most of the devices out there let you create
your own labels to is the bar code isn't registered.

It is true that Freedom Scientific offers this solution, but remember
it
is an add on, and it ain't cheap.

Hi folks,
Maybe this is old news, but I just happened to visit the Freedom
Scientific
web site today. I noticed they have a product which works with the
Pakcmate
which allows the user to scan the UPC codes on common items such as
over
the
counter medications, food packages, CD's and DVD's, and personal
hygiene
items. Not only will their system tell you what it is and who makes
it,
but
it will give you dosing instructions for over the counter medications,
and
it will tell you who is in the particular DVD you are holding.
Pretty neat ha?
I wonder when HumanWare will get around to offering up a solution to
the
common everyday problem of knowing whether it's peas or pineapple, or
how
much cough medicine to take.
Rusty
