We had a few misreads until I increased the size of the barcode and then all was well. We use the E-4208 without problems, now. Jeff Thompson, R.Ph. Pharmacy Informatics Newman Regional Health Emporia, KS 66801

The users are having to "play" with the scanner to get it to read the barcode where all other barcodes are read VERY easily. We are using a Datamax I-4208 for all the pharmacy labels. Did anyone else encounter this problem and what did you do to fix it? We have adjusted the imprint on the printer so that the text on the labels is darker but that does seem to have any effect. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
