colm44 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Just wondering if anyone has set up a barcode scanner to their Express Accounts package. This is to enable me to scan items that will automatically display on my invoice page and if possible to control 'items'. I would like to be able to use a USB barcode scanner. Basically NCH have advised that it is possible, but I have no idea how to do it ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCGCS Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Hi, Most usb barcode scanners act like a keyboard plugged in to usb. You should have no problem in using one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colm44 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Dear MCGCS, Thanks for your reply, so I went out shortly after your message and picked up a USB bar code scanner, not sure what to expect and it worked a treat. Initially I thought I would have to print off all my own barcode labels and in fact found a web site where you could do this for free, however i soon realized that if I open the 'add items' in my express accounts and while the cursor is highlighting the 'item code' and I then scan an existing bar code from a product, that this can be used as the item code and I can then name the item what I want to. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCGCS Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Hi Colm, No problem. I am happy to hear that it has worked out the way you wanted it to. I also use a barcode scanner. Its a bluetooth scanner as I use it with my android tab or my phone when doing callouts as it make it easy to track pc hardware that I use or need to see when it was sold to them. Tony.
