Barcode Scanner as Keyboard?

Hi, I have create a simple barcode JFrame with JTextField, and my system is connect a barcode scanner, if i scan a sample barcode, can it transfer barcode in alphabet onto JTextField so far? Thank You.

You can defenitely do it with ease.:
How abt somethig like this
jpos.Scanner dc = (jpos.Scanner)e.getSource();
byte[] scanData = dc.getScanData();
String str = new String(scanData);
use this tring to display in ur Text Area ....

A barcode scanner that was connected directly to the Mac's USB port stopped working as the "USB had too much power drawn", even though it has worked for over a year in that port. WHen we plugged it into the port on the keyboard, the device works. Why?

A barcode scanner that was connected directly to the Mac's USB port stopped working as the "USB had too much power drawn", even though it has worked for over a year in that port. When we plugged it into the port on the keyboard, the device works. Why? Obviously the device is operational. Could the USB port have burned out from having too much power drawn? If so, is it reparable?

It can't draw "too much" power, it can only draw as much as the USB port is able to provide and no more. IIRC, the keyboard port has a lower power output than the iMac's port.
That being said, yea, it's possible that the port has failed and it can be replaced or if another port works you can use that one. Although if it is still under warranty or covered by Apple Care, then I would take it to an Apple Store or service provider to get the port repaired.

Disabling keyboard and enabling barcode scanner in forms10g

I have attached keyboard and barcode scanner with CPU. I want to disable keyboard navigation for one oracle form 10g and enable only barcode scanner without detachment of kleyborad.

It might be if you disable the keyboard system you would disable your barcode scanning, depending on
what level this keyboard blocking occurred. I mean at some point the multiple keyboard like inputs could be going through the same driver. Just a thought.
If you think people are going to put extraneous characters in there I guess you will have to do a lot of error checking/cleanup on the scanned data and make the field larger than it needs be?. Doesn't look very easy to block the keyboard.
However, zillions of malwares have hooked
into keyboard driver traffic for keylogging. It's one of those innumerable typical things where the valid usage expertise has not caught up with the bad usage knowledge. BTW the users could also mouse around and screw this up. If you can block
their mousing in the form that would be good probably.

HT4509 Barcode scanner app with international keyboard

Hi,
is there any barcode scanner app that can be used as an iternational keyboard:
it should allow to be added from settings
when this keyboard is selected, the camera should open, allowing to scan barcode, and using it in any app, as normal keyboard?
thx

barcode scanner is an electronic device for reading printed barcodes. Like a flatbed scanner, it consists of a light source, a lens and a light sensor translating optical impulses into electrical ones. Nearly all barcode readers contain decoder circuitry analyzing the barcode's image data

How can i use an barcode scanner and a keyboard at the same time on Ipad

HI I am looking to find a way to use a barcode scanner and the on screen key bard at the same time, so far i cant seem to find a way to do it.
Does any one know how this can be done.
thanks

It is possible, I use multiple versions, however Firefox official policy is that you use firefox3.6 or 5 ; not firefox 4 which is not secure and not supported.
The easiest solution may be to use firefox portable http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36 although firefox 3.6 will itself not be supported for much longer.

Adobe form barcode scanner input

I made an Adobe form with X Pro. The purpose of the form is to inventory equipment. I use a barcode scanner to enter serial numbers into the form. When I scan the barcode (Code 39) of an item the serial number entered into the form is truncated. To ensure that the scanner was reading the barcode correctly I scanned a code while having notepad open, it input the entire serial number correctly. I did the same thing with Word and the serial was also input correctly. Why is the form truncating my serial number? I can type more in the field if I so wish so I know that a character limit is not the issue. I checked all of the text box's properties but see nothing incorrect or limiting.
Thanks for the help,
Goob

Sorry for never replying to your post. The problem is: I do not know why this is happening.
Your last sentence "on the Text Area the scan seems to stop before entering all digits but when I scroll back through, they are accurate" makes me think. As I wrote earlier, "A barcode scanner is basically just an input device like a keyboard", but very much faster. Somehow it seems that the software acts like it is encountering the carriage return before all the data digits have been processed.
But somehow it also seems to correct itself in a text area that allows multiple lines, but not in a single-line text field.
Yet that does not happen with my barcode scanner, but with yours and the o/p's.
Very confusing! Does anybody else have some thoughts on this?

Adesso Nuscan 2100 Barcode Scanner Questions

I just bought an Adesso Nuscan 2100U (USB) Barcode Scanner and I'm having trouble getting the computer to see it. When I first plug it in to a USB port, I get the "new or unrecognized keyboard" popup window, and it begins the setup process. Problem is, since it's not really a keyboard, I can't complete the setup, and I think my Mac then simply ignores the scanner. By saying ignore I mean I open a program like TextEdit, scan a known good barcode with the gun, and nothing appears on the screen.
Has anybody used a scanner like this, and if so, how did you get the computer to recognize it and work properly? Adesso and the packaging for the product all say it's Mac compatible, but there are no setup instructions anywhere that I could find. So, I'm stuck.
I'm using a PowerMac G5 with Tiger 10.4.11, and I'm plugging the scanner into the front USB port which works just fine for all other USB devices I've got. My eventual use for this scanner is to scan information into FileMaker Pro databases. I've also tried it under 10.5 Leopard, and on a Windows PC. I can't get any text on the screen (in any app) after I scan a bar code.
Thanks for your help!
Jeff

Not to be rude or contrary, but if you read my entire posting, the same unit (usb scanner) works successfully on at least three other machines with different processors running Leopard.
To further elaborate:
• manufacturer has been contacted and in touch - they have no idea why it doesn't work on mini
• no software or drivers - none needed for all the other machines
• my workaround (deleting .plist file) did nothing except prompt
the computer to ask me what kind of keyboard device it was (none)
Thanks for the effort... and the welcome.

Barcode scanner input

Hi .
I have an application that needs to receive bar code scanner input (the DS6707 from motorola). This application also discusses with 3 or 4 boards that run in parallel (using serial port com). So I have at least 5 threads that are running in parallel: one for each port com, one supervisor, and the main for the user interface.
I created a control to get the data coming from the barcode scanner, but sometimes I lose some number on my barcode, or sometimes I receive ‘?’ instead of a number.
If I create a thread that read the standard input, it works, I always receive all my numbers, but the problem is that I have the standard input that is visible and I don’t want.
I tried to used keyboard methods from the windows library , but I don’t know how to proceed.
Thanks for your help.

I have a question about a keyboard wedge scanner input.
I have a single panel with several text boxes placed in a grid.
I post the output from 8 flash programmers in the boxes.
I have a single wide text box below these to display general program status.
My problem is when I scan the barcodes from the panel array, all data goes
through the Upper Left text box. i want the data to go through the big box on the bottom.
The reason I am using the text box in the upper left, is because that is where the data went
when I scanned the bar codes. I was desperate to get the project moving forward.
And the StdIO window caused too many problems.
Question, How do I move the cursor to the other text box ? I have tried many Set / Get
Attribute parameters. If there exists any "how-To" example code I would be grateful.
void ReadSerialNumber1 (char* BigBuffer9)
statspanelHandle = TESTER_DialogGetSubPanelCVIHandle(&StatsHandle);
statspanelHandle = GetCtrlVal (StatsHandle, STATSPANEL_TEXTBOX_2, BigBuffer9);
DisplayPanel(StatsHandle);
fprintf(Stream1,"Serial Number..~%s~\n",BigBuffer9);
code in main section
sprintf(LittleBuffer1,"\n -- SCAN Serial Number Nest 1-- ");
WriteTextBox1(LittleBuffer1);
PN_Size = strlen(LittleBuffer1);
for(x=0;x<128;x++){ LittleBuffer1[x] = '\0';}
PN_Size = strlen(LittleBuffer1);
while(PN_Size != 10){
     int Stat_Val;
     Delay(0.5);
ReadSerialNumber1(LittleBuffer1);
     PN_Size = strlen(LittleBuffer1);
if(TEST_CHECK_BREAK) break;
if(PN_Size == 10) Ready_Go = 1;
strcpy(sSerialNum1,LittleBuffer1);
strcpy(Scan_Buffer[0],LittleBuffer1);
if(!strcmp(ModuleType2,"DSM")) strcpy(Scan_Buffer[1],LittleBuffer1);
ResetTextBox2();
if(TEST_CHECK_BREAK) break;
sprintf(LittleBuffer1,"____%s____",Scan_Buffer[0]);
WriteTextBox1(LittleBuffer1);
Ready_Go = 0;

Input string by barcode scanner acts differently

Hi I develop a simple program that accepts input by means of barcode scanner automatically.
Using keyboard works fine but not barcode scanner.
The program acts weird, when using barcode scanner during run time and development. I cannot find ways to debug it.
Would appreciate your help if u can help to solve. I am using Labview 7.1.
Here are exe and vi.
Your regards
Clement

Hi astrophysics,
I've looked at your program and have some questions. What exactly is this weird behavior that you are referring to? Can you explain what you are trying to do and what the program is doing instead?
Also, you said that you were looking for ways to debug your program. Inherently, LabVIEW has many debugging tools, such as the probe tool, which allows you to check wire values and highlight execution, which can narrow down the specific location that is giving these unexpected results. You can also check LabVIEW Help - the topic "Debugging Options Page" explains the available tools.
Let me know how it goes.

Barcode scanner help

Hello friends
I have a big problem using my old metrologic ms9520 barcode scanner.My graduation project depends on barcode scanner and I use that scanner.I read in one forum that it works like a keyboard to get barcode data from it,but I tried that,no results.Also I read that I can do tat by downloading javacomm 2.0 which contains a dll file and properties file but when I downloaded javacomm 3.0 but I didnt found that files just a jar file javacomm.jar.
I dont know how to retrieve barcode information using that scanner.
I cant download its configuration files on the site " http://www.honeywellaidc.com/Site.aspx/eu/fr/resources/product_downloads/software/?product=297 ".
Please friends help me because time is against me
Thank you very much

How to stop page from resetting when using a laser barcode scanner to fill input areas.

I am using Firefox 30 with Mac OS 10.9 at work. We keep track of workflow using a 3rd party website and scan the information in with a UBS laser barcode scanner.
In Firefox the input regions will fill with the information, but then clear without saving or sending the information to the site. What settings are needed for Firefox to keep and send the scanned information?

Just a WAG.
Try the first item in Accessibility = Always use the cursor keys to navigate within page
''assuming that web app doesn't use the cursor keys for anything''
Have you attempted to get support for that website or website app?
Without more information all we can do is guess.
It's been 10 years or so, but I did play with the CueCat barcode scanner a bit and even modified some software that I found on a CueCat enthusiast website to do silly things and to re-purpose it to keep an inventory of my CD collection. ''(Yep, that long ago.)''
The CueCat it was sending keyboard commands, which wasn't hard to figure out, because it piggy-backed on the PS/2 keyboard cable; there were a very small number of USB versions made for retail store kiosks and for demo purposes, but the whole project was killed before they started making the USB for consumers.

Making barcode scanner work

Hello,
I am stuck here with the barcode scanner "Symbol LS2208" via USB and have to use it in a Java app. I am using jdk 1.5 and downloaded the javax.comm API. Now i have some problems with which I hope one of you can help me. Is there a way to read from the scanner via USB, because as far as I can see the javax.comm API supports only serial ports and does the whole thing work with JDK 1.5, as javax.comm seems to have been written for JDK 1.2? I really would appreciate if one could get me started at least with some helpful documentation or examples...actually anything :-)

I don't know about reading the USB input directly, and I don't know about your particular scanner.
However, I have a Symbol LS4000 that I use in keyboard emulation mode. Is that an option for you? Or does it have to be the raw USB input?
If you can use keyboard emulation mode, you'll probably have to configure the scanner to do that. For the one I have, the scanner gets configured by scanning various barcodes in the manual.
So check with your prof or get the docs for the scanner. You'll need that as well as whatever Java knowledge is relevant for the approach you choose.

How can labview communicate with barcode scanner of USB interface

I have no idea that USB barcode scanner is within USBTMC or not
and there is no information available from the BCR supplier about the communication.
Is there anyone give me suggestions?

All that you need to read the scanner is a string control - just like you were entering the code from the keyboard. Could not get any simpler.

Hands free barcode scanner

I currently have a barcode scanner that with a trigger. I hold it in my hand, point it at the item and press the trigger. I have a string control on my front panel that is in focus and the barcode is automatically inserted into it. I monitor this string and when it changes I check to see if it is valid (LF and length) and then search my barcode database.
I would like to upgrade the system to have a hands free barcode scanner and so improve throughput. The idea is that like a supermarket when the item is placed infront of the scanner it would detect a valid barcode (and beep confirmation).
1. Does anyone know of a suitable scanner to do this?
e.g. Miniscan 4400, MG112041-001-412B, LS9208
3. I would prefer USB but can cope with serial and ethernet (I would prefer to avoid TTL outputs that would require a DAC board)
2. Does anyone have any example code for these or any other hands free barcode scanners?
3. Does anyone have any ideas of a "clever" way to implement this?
- I am hoping that the scanner itself will know if it has seen a valid barcode and will store it and that way I can poll the scanner for a latest string and status? Perhaps I am expecting too much?
Thanks in advance
Stuart

In the end I got two scanners:
OPR-3201-BK-USB+STD
This one is cheap and comes with a stand. When in the stand is automatically goes into continuous scan. When removed from the stand it needs the trigger to be pressed. This still communicates via USB as a keyboard emulator so is not really much different from my existing barcode scanner.
Cipherlab - 1400 Series OEM Integration Kit 1430
This one is an mini OEM . It came with an integration kit so all i needed to do was cut the end of a serial cable and screw it on to the dev board. The devboard has a built in beep and LED's. I setup a very simple serial communication with it and just wait for the termination character. It is much easier, simpler and reliabile than the keyboard emulator.
Thanks for all you help, in the end there was nothing much to worry about it was far easier than I though to integrate both.
