Janet, We print our bands on a Zebra 2844, we are Magic 5.5 SR2. Are your barcodes printing dark enough? I ended up adding a density line to our format to get ours to print darker. Is the staff able to flatten out the wristband so they can scan? On a small wrist we put the two ends flat rather than running it around the wrist. Also, I moved the barcode closer to the end of the band making it easier to flatten it out to scan. If you need specifics please let me know.

>>> "Janet Austin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2/1/2007 7:53 AM >>> We are implementing BMV in a couple of weeks and are having some difficulty with getting the BARCODES to scan on the wristbands consistently. Our scan rate is about 1 x out of 10. We use the Symbol DS 6608 scanners which are scanning the meds really well but can't get to that success levels with the bands. Has anyone got any words of advice or help. We have horizontal and vertical on the bands. ***Note: The information contained in this message may be privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure.
