Delivery Scanned items worse for scanning!

Post by FAB »

Anyone else find that items marked Delivery Scanned can be amongst the worse for actually getting it to scan correctly? Had 8 packets today to Same address and they just wouldn't scan- 2d or the other bar code. Kept thinking I was in memo mode, but no ! Gave up eventually! Next packet with home printed 2d no problems! :wink:

I find that wiping the scanner lens helps.

Might be a thin vertical line not printed properly, can be enough that a barcode won't scan
