Scanner

    Admin Familiy programs, support both serial and keyboard scanners. But currently, keyboard scanner has some advantages over serial scanners.

    Serial scanner operations. By defualt, serial scanner are configured to COM1:9660,8,n,1. If this configuration is available for your scanner, please use it. Then you only need to go to Initialization and set on the scanner (maybe CCD) activation. If you need another configuration, please contact your dealer.

    Keyboard scanner. There are two ways to use this type of barcode readers, with a an unprogrammed scanner or with a programmed one. The program will take full advantages of a programmed scanner. The only requisite for this is to have a Preamble code of 0x1d. By doing this, the programm will be able to get directly item codes without need of the barcode window. If it is not posible to setup the adecuate preamle, then you will need to open manually the barcode window to enter item codes throught barcodes.
