Adding Barcode Scanners to my system

If you would like to scan barcodes as part of your operations the devices that are used will need a barcode scanner.  These can be purchased through Ten-25 or directly from other suppliers.  

No specialist setup is required for barcode scanners, either being plug and play, or needing device pairing for Bluetooth scanners.

Barcode Scanners for PCs/Laptops

For PCs, Laptops, Macs including retail PCs we would recommend a USB connected barcode scanner.  These remain active whilst you are working and are rugged for daily use. 

We have previously supplied Honeywell Voyager CG 9540 scanners as they are reliable, can be used in a stand (supplied) or handheld from a trigger.  They are inexpensive and work well on trade counters. 

This is a guide model, please feel free to use other manufacturers and models of barcode scanner.
 

Scanning for Tablets & Phones

For tablet devices and smartphones there are two choices:

Bluetooth Scanner

A Bluetooth scanner, such as the Wasp WWS 150i can be easily paired to the device using Bluetooth and can operate as a keyboard input device.  This type can also be used with Laptops/PCs if they have a Bluetooth card installed.

Device Camera

Under development at the time of writing (Jan 23), the tablet/phone camera can be called to read a barcode.  This requires a button on the page of the application that will call the camera and use it as a scanner to return the barcode into the search.
