Use a data idenfier that you place as the piece of data in the bar code. DO NOT print the data identifier just the real data. This has been used in manufacturing for many years, look around and you can find the standards to use to identify items such as delivery date, ship date, customer number and so on. As an example contents of a bar code would look like this XXYYYYYYYYY Where
XX Data Identifier 3S YYYYYYYYY PO number 1234567
3S1234567
Your program always looks for the data idenfier, if not there , it was entered
manually.
