Scaning Barcode

Hello All,
 I am generating BIRT label reports with barcode fonts. When I have a single barcode on the report I am able to scan the ouput using my mobile or scanner device.
 
If I have more than one barcode on the report , Say ponum , itemnum are of Barcode font not able to scan I am not able to scan any of those . Do I need to make any other modifications or extra set up to meet the ouput?
 
Appreciate your help
 
Thanks in advance
Z

I have reports with multiple fields in bar code font. We use font HC39M from ID Automation. You need to add an asterisk before and after the string like this: "*" + dataSetRow["wonum"] + "*"

Peter ,
 Thanks for the response , I am using the same kind of pattern as you mentioned in the reply, If I have more than one value of barcode font then I am not able to scan the values, If I have only one value of barcode font report is working fine. Any other inputs ?
 
Thanks

I guess I would need to see your report to determine what's going on. I have 2-3 different bar codes in some of my reports from different data fields and queries. Also, you can send me a PDF copy of your report output and I can try to scan it.

Hello, chandrat
I'm not sure which step was wrong in your work, but I know for generae bar code in BIRT, you need professional <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.keepdynamic.com/barcode-birt-report/'>bar code genertion tool for BIRT</a>, and for scanning bar code, I didn't find special bar code canner for BIRT, I only found a <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.keepdynamic.com/java-barcode-reader/'>java bar code scanner</a>, according to the description, it seems supports to decode bar code from BIRT, you can check it, or codeproject is a good place where you can find various resources and tutorials here.
Good luck.
