ok, super! I'll be interested in your findings and comments. I was wondering if you were scanning in an otherwise-bright situation where the codes were in shadow.
A week or so back, I was at our local supermarket, testing shelf tags and while I found that most were readable without a problem, some few were angled downwards so that they in a lot of shadow. They were readable, but I could also hypothesize a situation where the shadow was so intense that the camera could not get them. And in that case, a manual override on the flash might be useful.
