If you're a programmer and the bar code is always in the same position 
on the page (1/4" from the bottom right or something), then just check 
the two possible corners of the received fax (it could be upside-down of 
course) and write yourself a little image-recognition software that can 
pick out the vertical bars and read the distances and widths thereof. 
 The specs for barcode reading are almost all online in various places.

PS, this could be a large project :)
