Our school printed student ID's with colored backgrounds on the barcodes. They are all light blue, but the cards which also have lighter blue or light yellow frames around the barcodes are difficult to scan. Short of reprinting the ID's are there any setting changes we can make on the scanners that would help. Image Team 3800 Thanks Kathy
Unfortunately it appears that you do not have sufficient Contrast for your barcodes, this will make scanning them difficult, that with the added issues of wear & fading makes the use of barcoded passcards difficult. it's probably better to use RFID or Magstripe cards for this application

We actually discovered that by putting a black frame (we used a permanent marker)around the barcode areas they will scan. This saved us having to reprint all our student id's. Next year the template will have a black frame whenever a colored background is used.
