Barcode scanner

Hi. I m having a problem in my Lumia 520.. Before I was able to scan a barcode using Bing lenses bt now it shows only QR codes.. I m not able to scan barcode now.. However in history it shows the links of barcode I scanned.. Pls help..!!

Barcode scanning is not possible as of the moment in reference to the business scenario that you have pointed out above.
Please file it as an idea on our idea management repository for product management to evaluate and advise as possible.
Thank you.

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.

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.

How would I create an USB Barcode Scanner Listener using Adobe AIR?

I want to create a USB barcode scanner listener that would read in the scanned barcode, and place the barcode in a field in my AIR App even if the program wasn't focused on that particular field in the App. If the client was using the application at the time for something else the scan would be buffered in AIR till requested or the AIR App has been idle for x period of time where upon the field would be brought into focus.
How would I go about this (I'm developing on windows) Was hoping for a USB solution within AIR but not fussy at all if I have to go outside AIR to solve this problem. Java, Flex, ActionScript, Flash, C, C++, C#, VB (currently I've developed the rest of the App using Adobe AIR and JavaScript)
I thought after some research that I could make a Java App (if all else fails) that listens and buffers the input and passes it along using a socket but JUSB doesn't work on Windows properly.
I'm not stuck on any one particular implementation or idea just want to get development underway so... Any ideas? or suggestions would be awesome. I've googled a lot but haven't found any examples or solid suggestions, so any URL pointing to that information would be great too, if you know of a good one, then I'd be able to read up on any suggestion.
Thanks,
Marty

Thanks Joe,
Just for anyone else. I bought a Metologic Scanner - VoyagerCG. I was trying to get it to work using Java USB for a bit with no luck. But if you get this scanner or one like it, it can be configured as a Virtual COM Port. Which is very very easy in Java to set up as a listener and use sockets to transfer the data and listen within AIR.
This PDF has links to drivers and instructions if this is useful to anyone.

How to identify the type of pocketpc barcode scanner?

How to identify the type of pocketpc barcode scanner whteher it is intermec or symbol?
GS

Hi,
well, this is the brand of the PDA - the Scanner itself is build into the device. So if you have an intermec device - you have an intermec scanner and vice versa. It is not recommended to use a HP device for example with an external scanner. This scenario is not really supported by the MI setup guides.
Hope that helps!

What kind of BarCODE scanner works well with LabVIEW ?

Currently I am working on a project need the use of Barcode Scanner to scan BarCODE. In our project, the minimum range requirement would be 30 feet. I noticed some posts here indicate there are some problems for barcode scan applications in LV to some specific Barcode scanner models. .
So, I would like to know if someone has successful experience for wireless or usb barcode scanner programming using LV, and the Barcode scanner model.
I would prefer wireless Barcode scanner.
Thanks in advance.

Hey Michenglaoxu,
I thinkt he best thing to do is look at a similar thread where someone was just looking for tips on where to get started and someone actually recommends a product. I can't guarantee the validity of his suggestion, but I thought you may find that link useful.
Good luck!

I want to limit the number of scan done by a barcode scanner to 50, how can i do that

I am scanning data from my 2d barcode scanner, now i want that after 50 scans my barcode scanner should prompt that scanning of 50 barcode complete, how can i do that? i know logic might be easy but its not sticking me. Please help.

Hey,
Everytime you get a valid scan increment a counter and compare with 50. If limit is reached you are done.

Wrong characters in KeyEvents generated from input of barcode scanner

Hi everybody, :-)
I have a problem with KeyEvents coming from a barcode scanner. The issue seems to have creeped in somewhere between JSE 6u3 and 6u10, as in the former it works as expected and in the latter it does not. The problem persists still, we also tested it with 6u22 and 6u23 (all tests were performed on the same Windows XP machine). The actual test client is very simple, the application is only a JFrame containing a JTextField and a JTextArea.
The barcode scanner we use connects via USB and has no special driver. The scanner already decodes the barcode that was scanned and "enters" characters in the focussed text field of the test application by emulating the Alt+NumPad behaviour (the character '5' being produced by the equivalent of holding Alt and entering "0053" on the NumPad).
Now, what appears when the application is run in JSE 6u03 is the expected result:
5@WM010$|
5@WM010$|
5@WM010$|
5@WM010$|
Here's the result for the same barcode when the application is run in JSE 6u10 (results for 6u23 are similar):
5@WÞ10ä
é@—M010$|
5@W¥ð104|
5°ùM0ó(▄♀
5@W¥010$|
é@WM010Ü\
é@W¥010P\
5@wy010$|
5@m01Ð$▄
)°W¥01è$|
)@—0ÑÐ$|
Well, at least it manages to get some characters right every time... ;-)
The character values are wrong already when the KeyEvent for each is being created and posted to the EventQueue. But on the other hand, the problem is obviously tied to the JSE used, so it has to occur somewhere after Java receives the input and before a KeyEvent is generated. Since the errors are very random, we are guessing that it might be a timing problem.
Between JSE 6u3 and 6u10, KeyEvent has received some new members (here with their typical values for my use case):
#isSystemGenerated     true
#primaryLevelUnicode     0
#rawCode     0
#scancode     0
Maybe the problem could have been introduced in the same changeset? Or maybe the values observed are meaningful in a way?
Can anybody enlighten me, or give me a hint of any kind? I already scoured the bug database but did not find anything.
Thanks! Any help is appreciated!
Regards, Lars

@mriem: Yes, I did. In all cases, it is "windows-1252". And moreover, if it were a problem with the default character set, it would not show the random behaviour it does.
I also managed to create a reproducer that shows the behaviour:

Barcode scanner in Adobe flash

Hi,

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?

I am trying to use a fixed Miniscan Ms4404 barcode scanner.

I am trying to use a fixed Miniscan Ms4404 barcode
scanner. In such a way that when a part passes through, it will scan
automatically without manually triggering the barcode scanner. Moreover is
there a way to use this scanner communicate with Slc5/03 Processor?.. basically
to cut it short i need a basic idea on how to setup this entire project. Your
input and suggestions will be greatfully appreciated.
Thanks
Joe

Do you have a means of detecting when the part is in position to be scanned, such as a proximity switch, or a camera, or some sort of load sensor? When you say the part passes through are you saying the part is continually in motion? How fast is it? If it's too fast you may not be able to detect the part being in position and triggering the scanner under software-based control.
as for the question regarding communicating with the Slc5/03 processor, this is a vague question. What's the processor doing? What kind of communication are you referring to? If you have a processor in there, what is the LabVIEW-based app doing?

The project is on the design stage, but the idea is to test for pressure decay in Automotive parts. Here is a scenario.
1. All the parts to be tested are barcoded for identification.
2. The testing station has a plate that moves in and out to load and unload the parts to be tested. And by the testing table, a Miniscan MS4404 is fixed to read off the barcode.
3. There will be two proximity switches that detects the part present.
4. As soon as the part is present it should stay for the entire test which should last for about 10sec at least. Simultaneously the scanner should be triggered.
5. Now since I am goin to use the MS4404 miniscan, my reseach tells me this miniscan and does not have trigger button, but I understand somewhere out there it can be triggered automatically,Software based, as soon as the part
is within its range. So that I will be able to communicates with scanner to enable. disable, beep, etc.
6. I need a way to decode the scanned data and store it my data base for passed and failed tests. i guesse this where the PLC and LAbView come into picture.
If there is a way to bypass PLC and cheaper way, I will welcome all the suggestions.
Thank you
Joe

Barcode scanner interface

We purchsed a HP barcode scanner with the intent of creating barcodes on items that need to be checked out and scanning them upon checkout, but we need a better way of displaying, when we scan mulitple items it just creates one long line of data. Is there a way to get it to present better? Perhaps a software program?

Hello bdukart,
An HP Barcode Scanner is a peripheral of an HP Point of Sale System. The only HP forum that discusses these items in on the HP Enterprise Business Community in the Discussion Boards.
Here is the link to the specific area of that forum.

Enter command on barcode scanner

Dear Expert,
We trying using module AR Invoice with payment ad POS system... We just change the barcode column field become the first column, then using barcode scanner to key in the items. Unfortunately each time the scanner send the numbers also send 'enter comand' after it, so it's close the AR invoice + Payment. Second item must open in new AR invoice. Any idea to resolve the problem?

Hi,
Check the setting for the barcode scanner. The barcode scanner scanning normally can be program. I have implement before POS system and my client is now using This AR Invoice + payment as POS as well..
