Barcode Reader Software

[Riitta Palazzo]

Iam using a barcode reader that uses keyboard emulation. The barcode types on the computer the same way a keyboard would. When I open notepad and use the barcode reader to read a barcode, the following meesage is typed:

Try to enable '\' Codes Display so you can see what is going on. i use bar code scanners all the time and they work perfectly fine with a string input. Codes Display will show you spaces, line feeds, and carriage returns. It should never change an ASCII value to something different.

Then I would consider using a different bar code scanner. I always use Symbol Technologies. There is no reason that a bar code scan should ever be different. If you are using Symbol, there is a bar code you can scan to return the scanner to the factory default settings. See the user manual.

I have no idea and have not seen this issue before. You may want to list the make and model you are using to see if other have seen this issue. What happens if you copy the scanned information in notepad and paste into a LabVIEW string control? Is it the same information?

Hello everyone

i am new to powerapp

i am trying to make application with barcode reader to scan barcode on the shelf of medication and view expiry dates stored in my list already and update it

my issue is : I want the barcode reader to show the scanned code in the textbox and conduct searching in gallery and at same time i want the text box to search manually also my medicine name

i tried a lot but nothing success

Hi @mmollet , I have followed you step but failed on the last one, finally nothing come out after scan the barcode. Could you please let me know which step I did wrong? Thanks in advance. I am very new on Power Apps...

This would go in the search box as the default text. What it does is it checks if the scannedvalue is blank. If it is blank then it means that we have no scanned anything to search for so we want to show the entire unfiltered list. If there is an object in that scannedvalue then we want to show that in this textinput so that the gallery filters correctly.

Basically the gallery is filtering based on the value in the text input so we are just controlling that. if the scanner wasnt used then the user can type to search but if the scanner was used then it will search/filter based on that scanned value instead. The user can still backspace that and search by their own values as well.

Now add the variable scannedValue to your text input box or label or wherever you want the scanned value to be seen. If you want it to also search/filter your gallery then you can try the following in the items property:

-hardware-compatibility-by-device). The only barcode scanners are handheld units, which of course can sit on a stand. I'm looking for a fixed block unit for a retail location. Just a box that sits on the check stand. Is there possibly a model that is made by Honeywell or Zebra that would be compatible?

I purchased a Zebra DS9208 from Amazon for use with my Square Register. It hooked up and worked no problem. The employees much prefer it to the Symbol LS2208 hand gun barcode scanner. It does a much batter job reading barcodes and speeds up the work flow drastically!

I have a issue with using a S700 socket mobile barcode reader. If I try reading a manually or tablet camera read barcode that was setup it works with only the camera not the s700 it give message barcode not found create new product yes or cancel. Even if I edit a product and scan the code in it still does not work the only way is to get the s700 to read the codes is to recreate all my entered products it like there is a special code section that only work if its set up with the s700. Please fix this bug.

I have the same problem. Have created several barcodes with the iPad camera only to find that my just received Socket doesn't recognise them. I have an event in a week and really don't have the time to recreate already done work. It seems unlikely these two instances are the only ones, as I doubt the two post writers are nearby either. Could someone take the issue seriously, please? I bought the scanner for a large sum of money and was expecting full functionality (and highest quality obviously) from the get-go, as I am used to from other products of this suite. The OP posted in early May but apparently nobody has reacted yet. Any chance of fixing this awful issue soon? Right now I am quite disappointed. Thanks in advance!

2. Testing barcode by trying to add product to cart (by scanning with camera). Popup asks if I want to add a new product, obviously not since it already exists in WooCommerce. Clearly the data was removed, which is good.

4. Attempt to add product to cart with S700, since the barcode supposedly was added successfully above. Popup asks whether I want to add new product since Zettle doesn't recognise the barcode. No, really not.

Politely, why claim that a barcode reader costing several hundred euros will work "smoothly" at checkout, when nothing is done to fix issues? Now customer experience will be appallingly slow, and there is a constant risk that anyone handling the valuable iPad back and forth will drop it to the floor. This makes for a completely unprofessional shopping experience as well as a very poor working environment for my assistant and me. I hope I won't lose sales due to a line forming and checkout being too slow. It has taken me hours of research to reach this point where the process could work wonderfully, yet the current end result still makes me appear as if I went for a cheap solution, have no care about customer service, and generally don't understand tech solutions. Fantastic.

Used 128A coding as suggeasted in your op

This issue appear to be the compatablilty with the izettle app.

It use to work 100% in izettle which is why we spent 250+ on the scanner

Having exactly the same probelm as everyone in the thread.

The scanner would appear in the izettle app - it no longer does - the app does not recongnise the scanner but the device does (that must be why it works with the socket apps?)

Regardless of how many time you enter the barcode on a product with the S700 or the device on board camera into the izettle app it simply won't store the bar code. It used to work fine when "Available barcode scanner" showed the S700

7. Warning if you have created barcodes by scanning them in and creating them what ever you do. Do Not ! disconnect the S700 reader from you device in bluetooth devices and reconnect it! All your work to set up the codes with the reader will no longer work will have to be reScanned. I found this out

I am also concerned that if we wish to use two iPads and 2 - s700 readers that it will only work with the one set it set up. also terrified to export/import the spreadsheet as it might wipe up what ever that make the s700 work.

With regards to your recent complaint, let me inform you that the Socket mobile scanner connectivity issue has been created by Apple's new iOS release, we are aware of it and working out a way to fix it form our side.

Yet the scanner work perfectly in all of the the current Socket app but not in izettle? How is this a problem with the apple IOS?

We continue to sell the scanners because the issue is only affecting iOS 16.5 and above and not all of our merchants are using this version of the software, as we currently support as low as iOS 14 - which is not affected by this. So, not selling them would exclude many users that are able to use this hardware.

So the answer is not to update but when most devices update automatically? Yet you haven't posted an notification not to update? 1/2 the user of an upto date expensive POS can't use the system now as intended.

Our development team is working to fix the issue, and we will release an update as soon as we can.

So there's your answer - they have no idea when the issue will be fixed - and it's easier to blame apple when it's the coding of their app that is the issue

Make what you will of the replies from Customer service but it would appear they have no idea what they are talking about

So I have a customer who needs help to connect the Keyence SR-1000 barcode reader using TCP/IP to a LabVIEW application. After researching Keyence's 'Connection document' for TCP, I realize it's based on their utility software alone.

Since I have no experience with barcode readers I'd appreciate any hints on what to look out for and how to go about implementing a VISA-based 'driver' for this device. Or generally, how barcode scanners are best hooked up to LabVIEW.

You would need to get in touch with the manufacturer of the barcode reader and ask them for some documentation on the TCP communications. Without that, the best you could do is use a tool like WireShark to 'sniff' the TCP data and try to figure out what data the scanner is reading/writing to their own software and try to replicate it.

There are lots of manufacturers/types of barcode scanners - some have their own drivers (e.g. DLL) you can call, some use RS-232/Ethernet, some simply emulate a keyboard and 'type' the characters of the barcode.

For all of the Keyence devices they use their own software which uses generally a DLL to communicate with the device. Amazingly the DLL used is for each of the Keyence class its own specific version too, I can't really imagine what software development strategy they have. It seems each device group is developed at a different place with a separate software development team for each of them too.

For most of their devices they do have a minimalistic C header file for that interface DLL they can send out to customers but you need to find someone inside Keyence who is willing to go through the trouble of optaining that information internally and sending it to you. For a few device groups there even exist (customer made) LabVIEW libraries that interface to the according DLL that Keyence can sometimes share with other interested users. Lacking such a driver you can still develop your own when you manage to sweet talk your Keyence sales representative to find those C header files for the DLL internally. Using the Call Library Node it is not that difficult to develop such a driver, provided you do have some fundamental C programming knowledge, or access to a person with such knowledge.
