Looking For Bar Code Scanners

My customer is going to have three different bar code fonts (large, medium and small) to be scanned for their cards as they go through turnstiles.

They tested one of the new bar codes with the existing scanner that they use and it took a long time for it to read the different size bar code.

any recommendations for a more flexible bar code scanner/reader?

Can you pinpoint the code type? Is it a QR code, or a traditional interleaved 2 of 5 style?

How far away does the code need to be read? <1", 5", 10"?

Also, is the contrast of code black ink on white background? Contrast is a big factor in readability.

It also matters which barcode don't you purchased. Some of the free ones aren't that good.
