I have toyed around with the idea of using a QR Code instead of a bar code, so it can contain a little more information about the item right upfront and not just a serial number that is used to lookup that information.. I haven’t done much research into that possibility if there is already something out there that can be leveraged, or if its something that would need to be custom created..
The type of information that would be nice to have with the scan is Name, model, version, warantee dates, owner, user, etc.. I understand the current limitation on most QR codes is a little over 1200 ASCII characters, which is still a lot compared to an ordinary bar code..

Baltimore II Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2012 9:48 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Barcode Printing ** I have what I hope is a simple issue. I am designing an asset tracking system. We will be utilizing ITSM 7.6.04. I have chosen barcode printers. We will be using the Zebra P4T Mobile solution to print our barcodes. The problem I am having (never having done this before) is figuring out the mechanism to get Remedy to print the barcode. We will be using a barcode that will have a 3 letter prefix and a 3-4 letter suffix. The Suffix is dependant on the organization that owns the asset. I will have a copy of the zebra designer pro v2 software to design the barcode, but I'm not sure how I will kick off the printing of it. Can somebody give me some direction here? Am I going in the right way? Thanks in advance! -- Warren R.
