Hi Craig,
	I have been working with and selling bar code readers for the Mac 
since 1985. All Mac bar code readers interface via the keyboard. To any 
program, when an item is scanned, it appears as thought it was typed on 
the keyboard. The readers can be programmed to generate a return 
character after the scan. So you really don't need a single line of 
special code, just an edit field to capture the scan. Actually you 
don't even need that.
	I have a couple of readers on my commercial site and several others 
have provided other links. I also have FB code that generates a Code 39 
bar code, albeit at only 72dpi, but it works fine if you don't need to 
generate very small bar codes.
	I use this for my point-of-sale application, MacPOS.

Regards

Steve Crossman

Subject: Barcode readers


Hi all,
I'm hoping a least one of you out there has had some experience with
barcode scanners and printers. I'm looking for one that I can use with 
an
FB project. If anyone has some experience with barcode readers and or 
use
with FB please let me know what you would recommend. I'm also looking 
for a
label printer for printing barcode stickers. Any FB code for use in 
these
scanners is a major plus.

Thanks
Craig
