There are many reasons bar codes might not scan and most of them can be boiled down to one of three things: Your equipment isn't suited to your bar codes. Your scanner isn't being operated properly. Your bar code labels aren't suited to your application or environment.

Issue: Barcode scanners may experience connectivity issues, such as difficulty establishing a connection with a computer or mobile device. Resolution: Troubleshoot by checking cable connections, trying different USB ports, or ensuring Bluetooth settings are configured correctly.

Disconnect the USB cable that connects the scanner to the computer. Reconnect the USB cable that connects the scanner to the computer. Verify the following USB cable settings. Make sure that you are using the USB cable that came with the scanner.

Troubleshooting the Barcode Scanner

You can try turning your mobile device off and back on. This will close any apps that were running in the background. Try accessing the barcode scanner again without any other apps open. You can also check to make sure camera permissions are granted for Lose It!.

If your camera not scanning QR code, chances are, you're either trying to scan it in poor lighting or are either too close to the code or not close enough. You need to ensure you're at an appropriate distance from the QR code and have sufficient light. You can even ask someone to hold up a flashlight while you scan.

In cases where the printing or marking method is causing inconsistencies in barcode elements, it is important to adjust the printer or marking equipment to ensure that ink is applied evenly across the elements of the symbol, or that the marking equipment is abrading the substrate with uniform pressure.

The most common issue is that the barcode is scanned, but the number just stays on the screen until you press the PLU button. If this is the case with your scanner, you need to program it to send the Carriage Return (CR) Suffix at the end of each scan. Most scanners come with a Quick Start Guide or Programming Manual.

A barcode is a visual representation of data that is readable by a machine. It uses a pattern of parallel lines of varying widths and spacing to represent numerical or alphanumerical data. The barcode scanner reads the barcode and interprets the information encoded in it, which is then processed by a computer.

You can scan barcodes from images, camera pictures, or PDF files with our free barcode reader tool. To get started, just upload your images and let the barcode reader scan all the barcodes in your file. Once completed, you can download a text file of all your results.

Why is my scanner not reading barcodes? ›

Often, failure to read barcodes can be caused by the position of the barcode or scanner: The scanner could be too close or too far to read the barcode. The angle of the barcode relative to the scanner might cause a failed reading. The scanner may require a specific barcode orientation to read it.

While there are other things that can cause unreadable barcodes, the main causes include low contrast, quiet zone violations, damage distortion, incorrect symbology, wrong label/ribbon combination, and speed of printing.

Common challenges with barcode quality and printing include insufficient contrast, incorrect size or dimensions, printing errors and smudging or fading. Barcode scanners may also struggle to read codes that are accurately printed but very small or crinkled.

Turn off the scanner and unplug the AC adapter. Wipe off any dust or dirt on the glass scanning surfaces using a soft, dry cloth. If the glass surface is stained with grease or some other hard-to-remove material, use a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth to remove it. Wipe off all remaining liquid.

To perform a cold boot, press and hold the 2 key and the scan trigger simultaneously for 10 seconds. You should note that this is the same button combination as a warm boot held for 5 seconds longer.

Carefully position the scanner at the desired reading distance and angle from your target barcode sample, and then press and release the trigger once. The scanner may beep and flash a few times as it calibrates itself to your particular barcode sample.

Poor print quality is the common cause of a barcode problem. This does not always cause a non-read. Differences in scanner aggressiveness can cause scanners to substitute characters and misread; others may fail to read the symbol altogether.
