THANK YOU ALAN !!!!
I tried it in hyperterminal direct to com 2
and it
has recorded every barcode thrown at it :-)
Are you aware of any generic driver which will
enable the input to be put in excel cell.
If i could get 48 hour days I would write some
code
now....but it will have to wait on the TODO pile after i do extension
drawings,
build extension, keep SWMBO happy...cby catching up on outstanding
work.
thanks again
Campbell

Subject: Re: [ukha_d] OT Barcode
Scanner-
how do I get it to work
Run a terminal emulator to see what it's sending ( you may
need
to try several baud rates till you get the right one)
This type is
more
difficult to cater for than the keyboard wedge ones, you'll either need a
special driver or cater for it in your code, the latter option is nicer
because you don't need the focus to be on a specific field waiting for the
barcode data to arrive.
With most of these things the manual has a
load
of barcodes in it for configuration of things like serial speed, barcode
standards to recognise (2 of 5, codabar, 3 of 9 etc etc) and lead in and
termination characters to send. Most of these tend to recommend disabling
barcode standards that are not going to be used to increase reading
accuracy,
This is bad news for you if you can't get the manual and the last user had
it
configured solely for 3 of 9.

I purchased a barcode
scanner from an ebay auction (my first win). It has no branding only a
serial number, it operates through rs232 port and uses 9v external power.
The scanner has a single button activation and (beeps and red light on back
flashes when read barcode). The problem is I have no drivers or documents,
etc. I thought it may read direct into excel, but doesn't... am I missing
something...no obvious branding inside either...circuit board has ADA
folowed by some numbers...means nothing to
me.
Can
anyone advise or give recommendations of where to get
advice.
many
thanks
