The system works with any industry standard 2-D barcode scanner that is compatible with the operating system of the PC that the scanner is connected to. It is important to note that nearly every 2-D barcode scanner on the market is shipped, in what is called keyboard wedge mode. The better models can also be easily configured to switch from the default keyboard wedge mode to serial port emulation mode. Whilst our EasyFMD system equally supports both modes, we would highly recommend that scanners that support serial port emulation are used. When a scanner is in keyboard wedge mode, it is actually operating as a keyboard. So, when a pack is scanned the details from the scan go into whatever application has focus on the screen and not necessarily into the intended decommissioning solution. If a scanner is in serial port emulation mode then the system can claim ownership of the scanner, so whenever a pack is scanned the details from the scan go into the system, even if the system is minimised or running in the background. We are advising our customers to source scanners locally.

Please note that your user name will always be in CAPITALS, but that your password is case sensitive. If you have entered your password incorrectly 5 times then you will be locked out of EasyFMD for 5 minutes. Even if you remember what your password is, you cannot enter it until your lockout period expires. Otherwise you will be locked out for another 5 minutes from that point in time. If you have only a single user configured to use EasyFMD then you have no choice but to wait 6 or 7 minutes and then try again. If you have more than one user configured, then you (or your system administrator) can log in using a different user name and password and go into Security >> Users. If any user accounts are 'locked out' the lock symbol will be displayed opposite their name as shown below. To unlock the account, just click Clear Lock and click on Save. That user should now be able to log back into EasyFMD as normal.
