From your description, it still doesn't sound too good for Code49. People are not going to be too keen on staying wed to a particular company like Intermec, and having to buy specialized printers and scanners. It sounds like there may be workarounds for reading our existing labels, but if we can make code128 work, that may be a better symbology for the long-run. Code49 labels are still somewhat tricky to read. I was amazed at how fast and easily the code128 label read. Jack ****************************************************** John T.
