On another report, same barcodes scan from a pdf crystal report but not from the printed label. I have changed white space which I think may be the key...

Karen, I'm very curious about this. I have a Symbol LS2208 sitting on my
desk. Feel free to PDF me what isn't scanning and email it to me directly.
I want to see if I can duplicate the problem. The LS2208's are super
reliable; I've never had a hardware problem with them.
I've only seen barcodes NOT scan when:
1) Scanned value isn't enclosed in asterisks
2) Barcode is too long
3) Barcode is truncated within the Crystal field
3) The scanner's laser is encroaching on "Barcode B" while you're trying to
scan "Barcode A"
4) Barcode font is too small / bars are too condensed
5) Scanning from too far away / or too close
Other than that, Code39 is pretty simplistic and that's why it's very
bulletproof.
Have you run through the LS2208 setup document I have posted on the Files
section of the group here under Barcoding?

Yes, one is an Symbol LS2208, I am not sure what the others are (in other
locations).

Have you tried multiple scanners? Out of curiosity, what scanner
brand/model are you using?

They can be, I increased to 28 points. Sample part is only 8 characters and
is not scanning...

Chris brings up great suggestions. Also try increasing the font size. Are
your part numbers long, by chance?

Make sure there is enough white space on either end of the label.
Also the direction the labels print also makes a difference. The
barcodes will print with much cleaner lines as long as the barcode
stripe is going the same direction as the label through the printer.
Slowing down the inches per second on the printer sometimes also helps.
Check the problem labels with a bar code verifier if you have one.
