Would the "barcode" package do what you need: 
<www.gnu.org/software/barcode/> ? From the man page:

The barcode program is a front-end to access some features of the 
library from the command line. It is able to read user supplied strings 
from the command line or a data file (standard input by default) and 
encode all of them.

I was trying to convert a string of numbers to a barcode and then be 
able to scan and input the barcode to demonstrate a program.

The problem was a defective barcode reader. A new one has been ordered. 
 When it arrives, I will give you an update.
