2) In that type in a 12 digit random numbe
r and click make bar code. The Bar Code will be generated automatically. Take a Print of the Bar Code and stick it on to your product.

Create an account In case you don't have and after signing in go to "Beep" and Scan a barcode with your webcam , automatically the bar code is recognized and the EAN/UPC Code is generated and then you can Add an Item to the database and then you can edit the details. All the items that you scaned will be placed in My Library. Now I have Added my Items to the Online data base with the respected Bar Codes. Now I can place it in the showcase and incase I need to know the details about them It is enough for me to just scan the Bar Code and see the details any where online. Smart isn't it ?
