There are many different types of barcode. I haven't been involved with scanners for a few years now, but I do remember on the scanners we used there was a configuration applet where you could set what types of barcode should be enabled for the scanner to read.

if you don't use bar code scanner, you need some image processing to identify image and extract the bar code from!

I know that certain barcode scanners will only support certain barcodes. Example, the more you paid for usually the more it reads. Also I think there is even 3D barcodes like UPS uses.

Also try to Code 39 - it seems to be very standard with barcode readers.
