[guo weizhan]

Hi All,

Is anyone use the BarCode input or print equipment work with OFBIZ ?  if so,
can you tell me what's equipment you are working and how to connect with
Ofbiz?

Thank you!

Weizhan,

We use a generic barcode scanner with OFBiz routinely. Since it is just
an input device, it quite happily works wherever text input is required
(for example, in order manager screens, catalog manager screens and so
on). We also use the scanner in the POS application. Generally that
works well - 99% of the time. Occasionally it has trouble scanning. We
usually put that down to dust on the scanner, but it might have
something to do with the way POS handles the input, but I haven't had
chance to investigate further.

BTW, we use the scanner in both Windows and Linux environments, and
generally have no trouble.

Cheers, Iain

Thanks for you reply,  is there need any driver for the scanner? Do we need
write a special program to read the barcode from the scanner? I don't want
use the barcode scanner with the POS.
