Code 93, read on this page
Compact successor to Code 39. Try it right here — the workbench below reads Code 93 from the lens or from a dropped photo, then files the value with a format tag. Specimen: CODE93-DEMO

READING NOTES
Getting a Code 93 to resolve
Linear codes live or die on horizontal sharpness: keep both quiet zones (blank margins) inside the frame and the bars perpendicular to any motion blur. Side light beats head-on flash on gloss.
WHEN IT WON'T READ
Fallbacks that work
- A — Flatten the label; curves smear bars at edges.
- B — Back off slightly so autofocus can lock, then drift in.
- C — Key the printed digits into "Key it in" — same tray, same export.
