do you have a barcode scanner in your shop? We usually just output a proof and take it to our shipping dept. and try it on thier scanner to see if it works.

Ya' 5, but we have over 500 pages and it would be nice to do it electronically first. (all codes are client created)

I've never heard of a "virtual" barcode scanner. I'm thinking you may have to do it manually. Or give the barcode scanner to the customer and let THEM check them.

(good luck if you choose option 2!)

Looks like someone is trying to patent such software:
