Help Needed With MAC Address Barcode Format

  • 7

I know this is a really random question, but I am tearing my hair out and getting nowhere.

We have a load of HP thin client machines which we need to audit. Part of the audit will be record the MAC address. Now, these thin clients have their MAC Address printed on them in a convenient barcode format. At least, it would be convenient if either of my barcode scanners could read it!

I have recently learnt that there are different types of barcode and I may need to alter my scanner to be able to read them. Does anyone know what format the MAC Address barcode is on HP thin clients, specifically the HP T5730 ?

Told you it was a random question………..

      You should not need a magnifying lens to read the barcodes. The optics in the scanner are optimized for read distance and resolution. Check the specs for your scanner. (it was probably made for standard size barcodes with human readable labels. The codes on the NICs were printed at a higher density to fit the small area.
