I’m trying to use a barcode that was previously created to scan from paper, and now I want to enter the same barcode in Tulip to be able to scan from there, and it doesn’t work. any help?

It is linear barcode. Code 128
I am building a work instruction that has a barcode that was previously configured with a Torque driver program, and since I don’t have the program, just the barcode, I want to know if I can paste the barcode as an image and be able to scan it.

Hi @Kissy262
there is two possible ways.
- You could scan the code with a scanner App on your phone and check what type of barcode it is and what the content is (You seem to already know this information).
And then you insert a Barcode widget, choose the type and paste the content.
- You could make a screenshot of the barcode and then paste it as an image on your app canvas.
Is that helpful? If something doesn’t work just tell us where you struggle…
