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.
