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.

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

It is for Windows 7. Have not tried it only any other OS. Did not have to load any files to get it to work. Just plugged it in and about 5 seconds later was scanning barcodes.

I have that software on my computer so when I scan and import it works. Are you wanting to use the printer as a stand alone unit that would scan something, process by ocr, and print it out without going through a computer? I don't think it would do that.....

Yes, I was able to make bar codes by doing a google search for "make a bar code". There were several free bar code generators. I then copied the bar code image to a word document so I had something to scan.

Many software applications have the ability to print bar codes. Sometimes they use a font and sometimes they create a bitmap. The Dymo Label program has some Aatrix bar code fonts you can use. The most common one is Code 3 of 9 sometimes called Code 39. Just type in your text and select one of those fonts. You can also purchase bar code fonts to add to Windows if the ones in Dymo Label are not the ones you need. I hope this helps.

Hello. I just tried it and it did scan a bar code off of a computer screen.

I believe it should scan any barcode you might have. It connects through Bluetooth if I remember correctly. It comes with a USB attachment for a wireless connection option as well. Doesn't work well for mobile devices though since unless you resolve the keyboard conflict.

The best way to find out would be to first build and install libfprint (the latest version is 0.5.1), using the flag "--with-drivers=all" on the configure command line.THEN, build and install fprintd to test and get the GUI that shows how it works.I can tell you that the latest version of libfprint works perfectly with the Validity 301 reader.

No. This wand provides scanned documents in either a jpg or pdf document type. If you scan the text to a pdf document you can use a program like Nuance PDF Advanced to OCR the text.

I really cannot tell you. I have not had this printer/scanner for over 3 years. Sorry--wish I could help you.

Not always. I have a macbook pro and one of the main reasons I got this printer is to use the full duplex scanning feature since I keep most of my documents in electronic format. I used to use the pdfscanner app with an epson printer. I love the pdfscanner app. It does not seem to work with this printer. I then started using the included HP software to use the scanner. I works for me about 40% of the time. Basically, I have to power cycle the printer a few times. Then if that doesn't work, I power cycle my laptop and eventually the HP software might be able to connect so that I can scan something! I've had no issue printing. I've had lots of issues scanning. I'm planning to return this printer for this very reason.

Its just a barcode scanner you would need some Database to look up the barcode to get the rest. In short no, but also it could be.
