I am using the barcode scanning in an app, but am curious as to what each type of barcode will return. I use a self generated 3of9 code for my simple part numbers which needs to be printed using a "*" at either end for example to make it readable.
Other barcodes (official EAN type) do not need this.
The docs on barcode scanning seem a bit light on details. There are options for value and text for example. What is the difference.
Is there a difference in the data that comes back from an EAN or other unique globally valid BC versus the simple return of numbers that a 3of9 does?
