The actual question people ask

“My barcode will not scan” is the warehouse version of a 404. Use a native barcode (not a phone photo), leave a quiet zone, print at 203 or 300 DPI on the actual stock size. Open the free maker · label maker hub.

Honest scope: A pretty Canva barcode image is often too soft for 203 DPI thermal. Rebuild native here.

Steps that match the query

Native CODE128 / UPC / EAN — not a screenshot
Quiet zone on both ends

Test with the scanner that will be used on the floor

If it still fails

Clean the printhead, raise darkness, slow the speed. Related: barcodes not scanning, print too light.

Batch from Excel or Google Sheets
