Question about scanning barcodes with mobile app

I am in the home stretch of entering my sadly neglected collection (only 2 1/2 long boxes of loose books to go!) and I noticed something:

The mobile app scans 99 percent of DC and Marvel books instantly. Most indy publishers, too. But Dark Horse? Nope. Doesn't like it, doesn't want to, usually won't do it. And I am wondering why. I know that bar codes are designed for a completely different scanning mechanism than a cell phone camera, so it must be something in how Dark Horse prints their barcodes that is the reason it doesn't work.

I'm not bothered by this, really, just curious as to the underlying reason.
