Reading a barcode from an LCD monitor using the IDAutomation Barcode Scanner

The IDAutomation Plug 'n Play Barcode Scanner has the capability to read a barcode from an LCD monitor provided the barcode is created at 96 DPI or above.

1. Implement one of the following components to create the barcode:

• Dynamic Barcode Generator Service - This is the hosted version that does not require installation and configuring of the streaming web component. Since the default option with this product is a GIF file, the JPEG option must be specified.
  For example: http://www.bcgen.com/demo/linear-dbgs.aspx?Barcode=TEST12345678&Format=jpeg
• Barcode Server for IIS
• ASP.NET Barcode Web Component
• IDAutomation Java Barcode Package
• IDAutomation Image Generator

IDAutomation's online Java servlet demo can be used to create a test barcode.

2. Make sure the IDAutomation SC5USB Barcode Scanner is plugged in and powered up.
3. Bring up a text editor window, like Notepad, and place it on top of the window with the barcode.
   
4. When the barcode is scanned the barcode data should appear in the Notepad window like in the above example. This example was provided by using the IDAutomation Plug 'n Play Barcode Scanner.
