2. Barcode Readers

Coming to the barcode readers you may go with Honeywell Eclips models which are very well in terms of regular usage. It may cost around 3,500/- each.

Dear Siddu,

We are using ID Automation font for barcode generation, It can be available on net. After installing the ID Automation fort in MS Word you can generate the Barcodes using mail-merge option.

With Regards !

Thanks to all,
Dr. Barman, Sri Srinu, Ms. Kankana Badan, Ms. Vaibhavi Thaker Kodrani & Sri Apurba Jyoti Majumder for your valuable suggestions. Now I can safely put up the budget.

Here in Kolkata, I was sort of confused with several suggestions from different quarters.
Thank you all once again.

Barcode can be generated from almost all library software.

There are bar code printers looks like billing machine. Cost of it make of TVS is around 10000.00.

Only rolled bar code papers can be used for it. These are easilyavailablee in Kolkata. The papers are mat finished and durable. But rolls are costly.

We bought these kind of printers and rolls, but as I told these printers take time to print and rolls are costly we bought simple HP lesser printer and Desmat self adhesive A4 size label of 4*10. Per sheet has 40 label of good sizes. We also took two copies of each barcode for pestling. As the papers are less durable as compare to roll labels we use to put 1.5 inches transparent tape on bar code.

 There fore the ultimate choice is yours. 

100 sheets of Desmat label -Rs.225/- (4000 label)

lesser printer as per your choce Rs.6000-10000/-

Transperant tape & tape cutter as per requirment.

Scanner- hand held TVS Rs 3000/-

Stand alone scanner Rs.9000/-
