How to Adjust a Bar Code on Price Tickets
Bar codes are created using bar code-generating software and are printed on price tickets using bar-code printers. Bar code tickets typically contain product information and prices, but there are times when prices have to be adjusted to make a product more salable. Adjust a bar code on a price ticket by generating a new bar code image using a computer software program, printing the bar code image and sticking the printed image onto the price ticket.
