To sign by using barcode you need to plug barcode reader on your computer usb port and run the program in barcode_reader directory as follows

1.  cd  barcode_reader
2.  sudo python3 barcode_reader.py

Now you can scan barcodes to see the output or response displayed on the program which basically tells if you have signed successfully or not. use sample barcodes submitted with this document for testing

Note the program barcode_reader should be executed only when the web application is running, so make sure web application is running before running barcode_reader program ( if it's not running you can start it by using 'python3 manage.py runserver localhost:8000' command )
