I need to develop Java code to interact with barcodes: first to produce
and print barcodes, and then later to input data from a barcode scanner.
I'm looking for hints. Can anybody recommend software?
For my first assignment in this vein I need to figure out a way to print
a few thousand barcode labels in a new format and with data drawn from a
new source. I am starting with a system which:
- prints barcode labels on a Brady laboratory printer,
- driven by Teklynx’ Codesoft 7.0 label printing software,
- driven by ActiveX technology (if I understand correctly),
- from VB modules in a MS Access program,
- with data drawn from the MS Access tables.
Somewhere I need to break into that chain to insert my new format and
different data source. For this assignment Java would be okay,
especially because I already know some Java and will be doing more Java
barcoding later, but Java is not required. It probably wouldn't hurt me
too much to learn some ActiveX, if that would be easier.
More hints?
Thanks,
Rich Hammer
