If you're interested in printing your own, you can get a 3 of 9 barcode font
from the web,
add the font to your PC, and created the barcodes using excel.
We do this, and print it on a HP laser printer on standard paper, and they
scan fine.

If the Q47 is anything like the Q215, it uses a modulus 43 checksum at the
end of each
barcode - a little bit of VB will help to calculate and add it
automatically.
Let me know if you're interested, and I'll mail it to you.
