Hand held bar code scanner

my hand held barcode scanner worked with my hp compaq with XP but doesn't with my new hp pavillion with windows 8 - why?

Is Oracle Form can read bar code scanner ?

Hi everybody,
I would like to develop an application for a video club with oracle form. Can anyone tell me how can do or just say if it is possible or not
Thanks a lot.
Shafique Mahmood

I would like to develop an application with
Oracle form can any one can just tell me
is it possible or not? Depending what bar code scanner you use. If it has a Java
interface, you can develop a PJC (Pluggable Java Component) for
Forms, or even a Java Bean and use a JavaBean area item.
If it has a COM interface, you can use the JavaBean/COM bridges
probably get the same result.
For PJC and JavaBeans, have a look in the Forms 6i/9i docs for
more info.
Hope that helps

E71 Bar code scanner versus camera quality

So I just updated my E71 from an older firmware to the latest: 501.21.001 and it's a RM-357 (E71-2; 270.07). I've been playing around with it to see the changes and I noticed that when using the bar code scanner, the quality of the picture is incredibly strong! I don't remember it being that good.
Now, when I load the camera, it's the same quality as previous firmware versions, fairly poor. "Close-up mode" is very blurry with anything closer than a few inches or 20+cm. This is very different from the bar code scanner.
Why is this so different and how to fix it? Can anyone else verify this as well?

I use Scandit for barcodes and it works great on my fascinate. I have no problems.

Interface with SAP / Bar code scanner.

Hello,
we are going to integrate bar code reader to SAP directly
Our thought are , Scanning the bar code and then using IDOC or directly connected to SAP - ZTables for converting the data into the SAP system..
is it possible to convert the bar code information ( such us material / batch etc..) in to SAP with an interface.
Any Input will be appreciated
Thanks for your help
JJ

Hi JJ,
I may be just re-iterating what has already been said, but for clarity I will put down the points again, since I was also faced with the same confusion regarding how barcode and sap will work.
1. Barcode Scanner has nothing to do with SAP or any software.
   In simple terms, it is just like a keyboard. To demo;
    a) Plug in the barcode scanner in the USB port
    b) Open Notepad in windows
    c) The cursor will be inside the notepad
    d) Now scan the bar code against any barcode image.
          (Suppose the barcode image contains the information XYZABC)
   e) As soon as you scan, the characters   X Y Z A B C (without spaces)
      will AUTOMATICALLY GET TYPED on the screen, inside the notepad, at the place of cursor.
    Hence, the SCANNER just acts as a KEYBOARD.
   and autommatically types in the characters WHEREVER the CURSOR is.
   We can test this using notepad, Excel, word or any where the cursor can appear.
   We can test in any standard sap screen on any text field also, etc.
2. Saving the data in SAP.
    a) First we have to figure out how to save data in SAP,
        considering we are entering data MANUALLY.
   b) This can be a STANDARD Transaction or a Z transaction.
   c) Suppose the field / information is material number,
     then instead of TYPING the material number on the screen, in the field,
    we simply place the cursor on that field.
d) then we simply scan the image (containing information on material n umber) and hooooooray,
    it gets automatically TYPED IN on that field.
    Thats it. Other fields we may have to enter manually and press the SAVE button to save the data.
Scanner just saves TYPING the information manually, and hence reduces time and error both.
Hope this helps.

Amit Mittal.

Bar code scanner

How to integrate Barcode scanner with java application?

The most bar code scanners I used (about half a dozen variations) got plugged between keyboard and computer and just produced normal keyboard events. So there was no need for a special api .. you actually could go into notepad to read whats in the barcodes.
There are more complex scanners though, coming with a build in display an own os and all kind of stuff ... for those you'll get an API from the producer of the scanner. I'm pretty shure they have all java apis by now

Info on hand held scanner.

I have OSX 10 9.5 and am looking for a hand held or wand scanner. Any advice please? Thank you

It's OK Billy. Asking a good question is a bit harder than it appears at first blush.
If you are talking about a photo album of film prints that I have tons of, I would recommend an inexpensive FLATBED scanner. I have a Canon that is light as a feather and a little smaller than the size I imagine your albums are. The lid is removable and the whole thing is pretty thin so an album would lay across it easily. The resolution will not be an issue as you are only wanting to go to screen (display) resolution. Color is great.
Bottom line, I would use my budget to narrow down choices then go with any brand name you are comfortable with. Canon is an old hand at this technology.
let us know what you do.

What is the best Book Cataloguing software for iMac. I have about 5000 books I would like to bar-code scan into my iMac. Thanks

What is the best software for cataloguing a large book collection into my iMAc. I would like to use a hand-held scanner, and scan bar codes, entering ISBN numbers only when necessary. Currently using Book Collector (www.collectorz.com) on a PC. desktop

I did something similar and used an application for my phone (Android OS at the time), which I can't recall the name of, to bulk scan the bar codes and subsequently upload the list to my mac in the form of an excel spreadsheet (it was a csv file). When I migrated to an iPhone, the application "Bar code scanner" performed in the same manner. Using my phone was by far the easiest method of bulk scanning (and subsequently cataloguing on my machine) in both instances.

BAR Code Print Using Font Free 3 of 9 Extendted

HI,
We have installed BAR Code Font TTF file for Code 3 0f 9 Extended using se73 in SAP as well same in windows.
Scaneer show 100% confidance (recognize well) while printing the text from MS Word( Testing Purpose). but while Printing from SAP Sscript scanner dont recognize the print bar code( We have installed the same font by SE73) in SAP.
Could any one help us what may be issue while printing from SAP SCript , SAP is not printing the actual BAR Code same as MS Word.

Hi,
Each Code 39 printer can also print 'Extended Code 39' barcodes. It is only the Bar Code scanner that must be switched to 'Extended Code39'.
In a Code 39 Barcode you can use the characters 0-9, A-Z and the characters -. $/+%
For an Extended Code 39 barcode a combinition of these characters get a special meaning. See the link below:

I need to pull data from a keyboard attached bar code reader, labview basic verison 8

Does anyone know how to pull the data sent by a keyboard attached bar code scanner using labview basic, version 8? I tried using the aquire input data function, however the data that it gives doesn't seem correct, and it also only seems to give one value out of the whole bar code. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Mike

You don't need anything more than a string control. A bar code scanner when used as a keyboard wedge, acts just like when you type something into the control with the keyboard. Make sure that the string control has focus and scan something.

Bar Codes(Help Please)

Hi,
I want my application to read bar codes of items and to store them to my database.Please, can you tell me if it is possible with Forms6 or Forms6; if so, please explain me the procedure even I want to insert records or I want to make updates(for example the quantity of an item with its bar code).
Thank you to answer me.Regards.

You mean store the image of the bar code ? Why do you want to do that ? A bar code is just the graphical representation of a number. Use a bar code scanner to translate the bar code to a number and store that. It will be much better. At least then you will be able to search for your product by that number and update the record with the qty as and when you wish.

Scan 3D bar code

Is it possible to use the iPhone 5 to take pictures of 3D bar codes (i.e. barcodes that identify widgets or Apps) and then use those pictures to download info or applications ?
Thank you - Pépi from France

Yes. Go to the App Store and search "bar code Scanner" or some such.
one example is RedLaser:

Printing tab in Bar Code using SAPScript

Hi,
We are trying to print information from multiple fields in Bar code (using Code128 symbology) on our Utility Invoices, printing of which is done using SAPScript.
Our objective is that when accepting payment using FPCJ transaction, the Cash Desk Operator will use a Bar Code Scanner and import relevant invoice data into multiple fields.
However, for that to happen, it is necesary to print tab feeds between data of contiguous fields using Bar code.
We have tried printing tab feeds in Bar Code using hexadecimal '09'. But it has not helped. Can anybody suggest how one can print tab feeds in Bar Code using SAPScript?
Thanks in advance,
Arijit Mitra

Hi
See the doc related to BARCODE printing and do accordingly
To Create a Bar code prefix:
1) Go to T-code - SPAD -> Full Administration -> Click on Device Type -> Double click the device for which you wish to create the print control -> Click on Print Control tab ->Click on change mode -> Click the plus sign to add a row or prefix say SBP99 (Prefix must start with SBP) -> save you changes , it will ask for request -> create request and save
2) Now when you go to SE73 if you enter SBP00 for you device it will add the newly created Prefix
Create a character format C1.Assign a barcode to the character format.Check the check box for the barcode.
The place where you are using the field value use like this
<C1> &itab-field& </C1>.
You will get the field value in the form of barcode.
Which barcode printer are you using ? Can you download this file and see.
http://www.servopack.de/Files/HB/ZPLcommands.pdf.
It will give an idea about barcode commands.

Detailed information about SAP Barcodes
A barcode solution consists of the following:
- a barcode printer
- a barcode reader
- a mobile data collection application/program
A barcode label is a special symbology to represent human readable information such as a material number or batch number
in machine readable format.
There are different symbologies for different applications and different industries. Luckily, you need not worry to much about that as the logistics supply chain has mostly standardized on 3 of 9 and 128 barcode symbologies - which all barcode readers support and which SAP support natively in it's printing protocols.
You can print barcodes from SAP by modifying an existing output form.
Behind every output form is a print program that collects all the data and then pass it to the form. The form contains the layout as well as the font, line and paragraph formats. These forms are designed using SAPScript (a very easy but frustratingly simplistic form format language) or SmartForms that is more of a graphical form design tool.
Barcodes are nothing more than a font definition and is part of the style sheet associated with a particular SAPScript form. The most important aspect is to place a parameter in the line of the form that points to the data element that you want to represent as barcode on the form, i.e. material number. Next you need to set the font for that parameter value to one of the supported barcode symbologies.

How to use Bar code field in Item master

Hi Experts
I want to know that How to integrate Bar code scanner data with SBO. Bar code contain many information like price, serial no., description etc . For example I want that when I read a barcode by barcode scanner it automatically update itemcode, description , price and serial no.
Thanks
regards
Gorge

Hello Gorge,
A barcode would ideally contain only an identification code and not other information. All such information like price, etc. should be fetched from a database, after reading the barcode, and identifying the item.
You can simply enter the barcode in the Item Master Data and than use the barcode field to identify the item in sales / purchase documents instead of itemcode or itemname.
