We tried here with iPhone and also with an USB scanner. Both devices scanned the code successfully.
I have just finished a program for shipment. It fetches customer and invoice data from the accounting software and creates then the shipment labels including a Code25i barcode and a QR code. The carrier is Trans-o-Flex. I need to send some sample labels to their IT department. They will check if the labels are readable by their scanners. But i am now confident, that this will work on their side also. Thanks again. Matthias > Am 20.07.2018 um 11:31 schrieb Mike Bonner via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com>: > > Very cool!
