You are rarely in business for a long time, or write for long, before you are taught the importance of the barcode. The barcode to the left is for the new 13number ISBN - for books. The small code at the top tells us that this book costs $14.99 US. The number 5 at the beginning of the top code indicates US pricing.The numbers at the bottom indicate the country, the publisher's code, and the book. All of this information is used to let stores, warehouses, distributors, and manufacturers keep track of their inventory, and auto pricing.
To use the barcode, a store needs one of the usb barcode scanners. The barcode scanners come in all types and styles. It is important to use a barcode generator. Do not try to make barcodes with one of those free scripts on the net. Your code needs to be perfect - or the scanners will not read them. This will keep your product out of distribution or print.
