Does this printer produce scannable linear bar codes?

Generating bar codes depends on your software. Currently we are using the same printer for printing our Fedex shipping labels without any problem.

It will print bar codes that can be scanned, provided such data was sent to the printer.

It should work fine. We use JPG datamatrix barcodes in a crystal report and they print great. You just have to set your label size in print setup of whatever software your using. The print driver allows you to use the label printer like a normal windows printer.

The one I bought was black, but yes, it will absolutely read the bar code, and we use it daily to read USPS bar codes on flat rate envelopes we ship on a regular basis. Here's the catch though. The number printed below the bar code DIFFERS from what is read. USPS encodes, in our case, 8 digits in front of the number. So as long as we know when entering tracking information to ignore the first 8 digits, and start with the "9405" we are fine.

Barcode scanners "SCAN" barcodes printed from barcode printers. I think your question needs to be re-phrased... Does this scanner "SCAN" all barcode formats? (example code 11, code 93, code 128, code 39 etc.)

I use it all the time with fedex barcodes , but if you look at the usps bar code it is not uniform across. it reads barcodes that go across. I have software that prints post office barcodes but the scanner cannot read them. You would need software to read that specific code.This will read UPC codes and codes from store key tags.

Yes it does. Great for checks and envelopes but has a few software flaws which makes the printer not as easy to use as earlier versions.. Good luck

I don't think so, but i had it a while ago before Brother had made an app so that may not be the case now. Even if you can, it is an awful printer!

According to the item specifications this is what I found. Optional Handheld Bar Code Scanner ( ROYAL PS700 ) connects via integrated serial connection

Sir, I did some quick checking on your question.The short answer is no. I found a 2D scanner here at amazon you may want to consider. Here is the link...Metrologic Focus MS 1690-Omnidirectional, 1D/2D, Pre-owned, good condition, tested. Reads poorly printed or damaged barcodes. Black and USB.paste that link into your address bar to see the scanner listing.Regards,John. webmaster@surf-rite.com

I used to have a P-Touch (made by Brother) that creates unique bar code strips. I'm sure there are others out there too. Good luck!

No. The scans are low-quality. It doesn't even do a decent job with print. The color is not accurate in scanning or in printing. Go with a different model.

No! Here's a link to Honeywell page that cross-references scanners with supported barcode types. https://www.honeywellaidc.com/Permanent/Symbologies.pdf

This scanner works with pc's (USB) it mimics a keyboard for entry of barcode data. For most uses it does not need to be programmed. That being said a good barcode software is helpful for printing and interpreting different formats of barcodes that do exist. I use this model for office inventory (not retail). You will find other people that have ordered this scanner that use it for retail and do not seem to have had any problems.

No. This scanner will only read 2D barcodes...like a UPC symbol on a box of cereal at the grocery store. You will need a 3D barcode scanner to read those kinds of codes.

Currently our system does not have the ability to print barcode labels directly from the POS system. You would need to purchase a separate barcode label printer for around $75 that does include the software needed to print out your labels.

not unless you are linked to the database where the information resides. the bar code itself does not keep that information.

Yes. That is one of the primary purposes of this label printer. Brother also supplies utilities to create barcodes from databases or from Excel.
