Since our company was founded
in 1987, we've typically lived by the adage "Teach first,
provide second."
The CodeFacts section of our
website might be a very good place to start if you want to
know more about bar coding and other ADC (automated data
collection) technologies. This is the educational area of
our website and is an accumulation of much of the
information we've collected and taught over the years. It's
an ever-growing collection of documents that might contain
the answer to your quandary. At the least, it'll educate you
a bit more about our business and the technologies we
provide.
