I use this to put barcodes on each document in a huge library (around
100000 documents)

Code used is "code128".

The barcode generation works like a charm, but...

I've never tested to read the labels back !!!

The library in question has not yet bought a barcode reader...
and I don't have either (this was work for free stuff)

Each label containing both the barcode and the clear text
version of the document's identifier, I guess they won't buy
a barcode reader anytime soon :-(
