title: Recommended barcode type?
body: <p>This is a question for people with a good experience with barcodes.</p>
  
  <p>The <a href="http://www.fast-report.com" rel="noreferrer">FastReport report generator</a> supports the following barcode standards:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Code 2_5</p></li>
  <li><p>39, 39 Extended</p></li>
  <li><p>93, 93 Extended</p></li>
  <li><p>Codabar</p></li>
  <li><p>128A, 128B, 128C</p></li>
  <li><p>EAN128A, 128B, 128C</p></li>
  <li><p>EAN 13</p></li>
  <li><p>EAN 8</p></li>
  <li><p>MSI</p></li>
  <li><p>PostNet</p></li>
  <li><p>UPC A, E0, E1, Supp2</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Since the solution is meant for small shops, I need to print labels and then read their barcode using entry-level tools (Brother QL-570 label printer, and ANL-810 scanner bought off eBay). The labels are 90mm wide and 29mm high. The barcode will only contain digits, as it represents the item's ID in a database.</p>
  
  <p>To reduce reading errors to a minimum, which standard would you use, and, based on your experience, what minimum size should the barcode be?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
