Barcode scanner issue in POS v2.0

Oct 03, 2007 2 Replies

This problem may be with either the scanner or the software. When I scan an item's barcode, the correct barcode enters the item number field but I have to hit "Enter" to place the item on the sales transaction. I believe the item should automatically be added to the sale.



Is this a POS software configuration issue or a scanner configuration issue?


Mark,

You need to program a carriage return at the end of the scan. This can be done with almost all scanners by scanning a sequence of barcodes in the device manual.

Also, if are referring to MS POS 2.0 and not RMS 2.0, make sure you select the device under register properties. It's a common mistake for users not to select a wedge device, since RMS doesn't require this. In MS POS 2.0, you should always select your device whether it's wedge, USB HID, or OPOS.

Jeff -

Thank you! The device was registered properly but I needed to program it to add a carriage return after each scan. That worked great!

Thanks aga> Mark,
