More specific on requirements
Sorry but your post is not very clear what you are trying to accomplish. Are you trying to add barcodes to documents? Do you want to be able to scan barcodes and have a document retrieved or perhaps scan a barcode and have some function performed? Either way you may want to check out the Barcode module as a starting point.

yes, a bar code scanner will
yes, a bar code scanner will be use for tracking of documents. Our Receiving and Dispatching Unit find it hard to track the documents if it was received by our clients. So we think of designing a system that will track the documents using bar codes from the time it was transacted from our end to receiving of documents to branches. Hope you can help me with this one.
Sorry the barcode module is
Sorry the barcode module is about as much help as I can be on that.

I downloaded the barcode
I downloaded the barcode module. but I cant proceed with procedure no. 3. Please see procedure below.
1. Place the entire barcode directory into the directory in which you've chosen to place contrib modules (usually sites/all/modules).
2. Enable the barcode module by navigating to: administer > modules
3. Copy your font to the barcode/ folder (D6)
4. Finish the configuration at admin/content/barcode (admin/settings/barcode in D6 v2 and admin/config/media/barcode in D7 v2) specifying the location of your font file and the desired encoding.
5. Add barcode fields to your content types as desired.
Can anyone assist me on this issue. Thanks
I don't think that step is
I don't think that step is actually necessary anymore. It is not in the README.txt file. See if it works without it.

I installed the barcode
I installed the barcode module and set file permission view able to users. I also created a new content type named "Online Transmittal". In this content type I add a new field to select the barcode. In the widget type, the only selected item is text field which I select. In the configuration of this content type under the display field tab i set the Barcode Image as the teaser view and Full node view. I also open the file permission to the generated file folder located in the files/barcode directory. But still, image view on barcode is not showing. How can I deal with this. Your positive response is highly appreciated.
I followed all of the
I followed all of the instruction needed to install barcode module but still bar code images is still not showing. I tried to look on the bar code folder (located in /portal/sites/default/files/) where barcode images are generated and results was fine. Bar code images are stored once I clicked on the "Preview" button. Do anyone encountered this kind of problem? Your positive response is highly appreciated.
