Allen,
        We are testing the Metrologic 9520 Scanners now. Can you give me
an example of a barcode your scanner will not scan. So far our scanner
has scanned everything we have thrown at it. With exception of the Lot
number and expiration date on the RSS codes. We don't feel like we need
that anyway.

Terry,
If your scanners don't support the barcodes that the drug manufacturers
use, you have 2 choices - you either get different scanners or you
repackage the offending items.  In the pharmacy, I use a Metrologic
MS1690 that will read all but a very small number of our barcodes.

We are working on the implementation of BMV.  I was wondering what
other
facilities are doing to compensate for the unsupported barcode formats
such
as RS Stacked and UPC-A.  Also, what about some of the barcodes that
are so
small the scanner will not recognize them?  We are currently working
with
Symbol DS6608 scanners.

 

I appreciate your time.

 

Thank you,
