I've
seen people suggest using these for "inventory control" of their food
cupboards
in the kitchen but what about things like cheese from the Deli counter
where you
have two problems:
1) The barcode contains the price so changes each time you
purchase
another batch.
2) You
don't take it out and eat the whole thing in one go. (Well, maybe I do but
that's just me.)
Phil
Ray,
Do I
take it that this means that this cannot be used with an IBM compatible PC?
-
the manual seems to suggest that you can connect it in between the keyboard
and the pc, is this true?
(Seeing loads of HA apps for this, but thinks
there
is a catch!!)
Daniel
Craig,
I didn't get any docs come with it at all
(hence
why I foolishly plugged it straight into my PC's serial port). However, a
bit
of web searching turned up PDF manuals for it... Just wish I'd looked
first :-(
HTH, Ray Barnett.

Ray, I purchased this model a couple of months back,
when
the link was originally posted to the group. I assummed it just connected
in-line with the keyboard, but looking at the connectors this did not look
right, so it is still sitting in a box somewhere. Do you have any docs with
yours on how to connect to a PC?

Subject: [ukha_d] Barcode scanners
Thought people might be interested to know that I came across a supplier of
cheap barcode scanners... £20 for a second hand "guaranteed to work" unit.
I'd
like to report how well they work, only I read the bit about it supporting
TTL RS232 *after* I plugged it in to my PCs RS232 port? Anyone care to
venture the odds on it still being alive? Oops.

Just
don't plug them straight into a 12v serial port like I just did ;-)
