Re: Reading laser etched bar code labels

We could read the bar codes some of the time.  But then we learned that
"video reverse" should be turned on and that helped a lot. We were
already using 2D scanners.  They're not cheap are they?

We have had some experience with laser etched barcodes.  Although the
main problem we had was that the scanner was not a 2D scanner.  After
that was fixed, size was a another issue.  I take it that you are able
to read the bar codes some of the time.
