Barcode Scanners
Most Barcode scanners are operable with System Five including Serial-COM, USB-HID, USB-COM,
Keyboard wedge and OPOS supported Scanners. Keyboard wedge and USB-HID scanners must be
configured with a [Control]-B (dec 02) preamble and Carriage Return (dec 13) postamble.
Scanners mustbe configured with the type of barcodes they wish to scan. Most scanners also convert
various formats from one type to another such as 12 digit UPC/EAN to 13 digit UPC/EAN codes. The
scanner must be configured to match the format of your inventory UPC numbers. The programming of
scanners is done by scanning barcodes in a book. System Five can accept multiple barcodes for each item.
Terminal server users should use keyboard wedge barcode scanners. Serial-COM port scanners can be
used with Terminal Server 2003 with configuration. Most USB scanners are not supported for use with
Terminal Server.
USB-HID scanners work on a Terminal Server if, on the Remote Desktop client you select “On the local
computer” as the Windows key combinations option in the Remote Desktop Connection dialog box -
Local Resources tab.
