"Under ISO 15416, camera-based bar code verification systems no longer meet the ISO/ANSI requirement," contends Thome. "That does not mean camera- based systems won't work, but it does mean that converters who are required to provide ISO/ANSI-compliant bar codes must use a laser-based system."

"While we speak of the ANSI spec since that is the terminology most converters are familiar with, we still comply with ISO 15416, which is an international version of the ANSI spec," explains Glenn Spitz, president of Webscan.
