"Smart" barcodes in UpFront
We use auto-generated barcodes in some of our impositions, which are read by our perfect binder to ensure sections are collated into the correct order. We used to use barcode images which we placed manually on the Brisque, but when we recently upgraded to Prinergy this option was no longer available to us.
We began using auto-generated bar codes (written by Ray Johnson) and all was well, until we tried to work two sections up together on one sheet. UpFront places the same barcode on both sections! As you can imagine, this could potentially lead to some very costly errors. As you can also imagine, Kodak are alternately sticking their heads in the sand and blaming Ray Johnson (a former employee) rather than offering any solutions themselves, or admitting fault (heaven forbid!).
Has anyone come across a similar problem? If so, how did you get around it? I know the obvious answer would be to stop working multiple sections up together, and we have for the moment, but we paid for the software because we need it to work!
