A standard 3 of 9 bar code will not allow you to embed a tab into it. It
interprets it as just that a tab in the bar code, creating gaps where they
occur. Tried it in numerous combinations, it just would not work. Called
tech for the scanner, vantage, label software, etc., no one had a solution.
It has to be done by the software and vantage doesn't do it...

That has been discussed here but I am not sure if it was ever resolved. I
have been tempted to try to do this but have never gotten arounf to it.
There is suppsoed to be a way to embed Tab characters on the end of
barcodes. If the keyboard wedge types are truly simulating keyboard strokes
this ought to work. The downside is flashing past warnings (oper closed,
etc...) which dealing with each field one at a time forces the operator to
notice. In the end a great deal of this depends on the scanner and codes it
supports.

What one of our owners wanted to happen was to have one barcode where on the
start job screen this barcode contains Job# Assembly Seq and OP Seq. The
barcode would have the appropriate character to make it jump from one blank
to the other and fill all three in one scan.

We have been using the WelchAllyn Imageteam 3800 limear image scanner (gun
type) and they have worked very well. They are keyboard wedge type where
they scan the barcodes and translate to keyboard strokes so no other
software was required. They are on PC but I suspect they will work with any
terminal using PC keyboard signals. They have different Y-cables for
various terminal models. They are not cheap (around $300 each if I remember
correctly) and there are definitely less espensive alternatives. Check
SystemID Warehouse for examples. A local distributor for WelchAllyn loaned
us a scanner for over a month to try out. Basically he billed us and then
took it back at no restocking charge. Vendors of this type of equipment are
really "hungry" lately and should be very cooperative.
I would definitely shy away from lower cost wand type scanners that require
contact with paper. The lense gets dirty and requires constant cleaning.
As for Stephen's question about filling out job and op numbers. The
barcodes on the process sheet include job, assembly level and oper codes and
the scanner above fills them in on the data collection screen fine. I am
not sure what other capability you are looking for.

We've been interested in this. We want it so it fills out with job and op
numbers. We don't have the scanner with that capability. Is anybody using
a handheld scanner with that capability?

Hi everyone,
I know this was talked about before, but haven't been able to find the
mails, so...
We are looking into having our guys scan a barcode on the job traveler that
would be read into Vantage Data Collection to eliminate clocking into the
wrong jobs and assembly levels. Our data collection terminals (WYSE) run
off of a Citrix server.
Has anyone done this? I know how to turn on the bar-coding on the traveler,
but what units are you using to read the barcode and interface with Vantage
Data Collection? How much does it cost, is it easy to set up, and can we
get a loaner to play with?
Thanks in advance,
Manasa Reddy
