  • Hello,

    I have spent nearly 400 Pounds on scanners and they cannot read the Barcodes generated by Dear.


    I can walk around the stockroom and blast away with the scanners on any barcode and they read no problem.


    Generate them from Dear ( Serial Number and/Or Product Bar code) - Nothing.


    GRRRR ... getting frustrated.

    See attached picture


  • Hi Glenn,


    I just printed out your barcodes and could not get them to scan with my (admittedly) cheap scanner.  In the past, I have not had any trouble with scanning barcodes that I have generated from DEAR.  If you have not done so already, I would recommend that you create a new support ticket and see if DEAR Support can help.  I do not know about all of the various barcodes types, but maybe you are using a font/set that is not recognized by some scanners.  Ask DEAR to modify the template, maybe the font, that you are using to print the labels so that you can scan them.


    Good luck!

  • Hi Stan,

    Thanks for the reply. I checked the template and saw that the Barcode should be ID Automation.

    I copied it from the origional. So it is ID Automation (As Font Type)


    In the product settings I added the product name as the Barcode.

    If I print a label now I can scan it and it comes up as the Product name-( This is after about 10 attempts to scan the label).


    If I go to Inventory Availability, I want to print an Item label that will produce a barcode based on the serial number. It still prints out the barcode for the product name.

    If I remove the Barcode from the item settings, it prints a small barcode that does nothing.


    How do I print a barcode for the serial number?

    Is it possible anyone?


    Regards Glenn







  • I thought I would see how if anyone has had any luck with EAN13 output in DEAR?

  • Barcode printing is a disaster.  Does anyone have any updates on this?

  • How is this going DEAR?

  • Hi guys! I made a video showing you a solution to print UPC-A and GTIN-14 Code on a DEAR template generated label. You could also do SSCC or any Databar. I hope this help you.

  • Likewise! Any update @DEAR?

  • Hi all, thanks for the great posts above. I have  a query for you please. I want to print a whole stack of DEAR generated barcodes onto a sheet of A4 card and then cut them out myself with a guillotine. 


    It should be possible to create a printing template and to print them off I would think as you do get label printers to print onto A4 sticker sheets.


    Is this possible on DEAR?
