(a) Use an online barcode generator (such as www.barcode-generator.org) to create a
UPC-A barcode for the product code number:

3 9 4 6 6 1 2 9 9 4

(b) Describe how the barcode could be used to track a package that is sent from a UK
business to a customer in the USA.

(c) Use an online QR code generator (such as www.barcode-generator.org) to create a

(i) A website address.
(ii) A vCard used for saving contact information directly to a computer or phone.
(iii) Some text information about a special offer.

50 copies are needed, the beam needs to scan the page 50 times.
What are the advantages of using a digital scanner as part of the photocopier?

(b) Digital cameras are commonly used in modern society.


Discuss with a partner where digital cameras are used and list as many possible uses
as possible below.

Optional Task 3 Reading barcodes
Barcode readers or scanners are used to read barcodes on supermarket products, books
and other products and, for example, for tracking packages during shipping.

The Code-128 system can represent all alphanumeric characters. The UPC-A barcode
below contains guard bars and represents numeric values only.
