I am thinking of setting up a moderated mailing list for the automatic identification industry primarily focussed on bar code. The automatic identification industry is focussed around automating the process of getting information into and out of computers, through use of scanners, printers, portable terminals, and software. Bar code is one type of auto ID but the sector includes magnetic stripe and smart cards, biometrics (retina and fingerprint scanning, face and voice recogntion), a variety of tags that can be sensed from a distance and technologies such as OCR and magnetic inks. As I do not post to this list please repond to me in person at [log in to unmask] Thanks and regards Richard Lucas Richard Lucas General Manager SKK Systemy Kodow Kreskowych [log in to unmask] http://www.skk.com.pl ul.
