hello guys,

I have written code to read from a barcode scanner through isl and i am wondering if there is any way to automaticaly call the enter key after the scan.

Code:
EVENT inq : 1
    var barcode : a13
	
    forever
	input barcode, "Scan barcode"
	//loadkybdmacro @KEY_ENTER [COLOR=#EF2929]this doesnt work[/color]
	if (barcode = "") OR (len(barcode) <> 13)
		break
	endif
	
	.....
    endfor
ENDEVENT

I use motorola ls2208 which is set to return an enter in the end of reading. But it doesn't work.
 
How do you have the barcode reader setup? (Both on the Micros side and the device)

I use the following setup for the barcodes readers at my site. we use the same style/brand barcode readers. The barcode reader should automatically pass an enter when setup correctly.

On the Workstation itself, I have them setup using "Enable Transparent Mode". This setting is in the (Left/Right/Left) configuration on the workstation.
 
Hello,

I am back to this project.

thanks for your answer.

Can you help me where can i found the Enable Transparent Mode setting on the server? It is symphony 2 server. I am not an expert on that.

Thanks
 
Enable Transparent Mode" is on the workstation itself. Do the LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT, then the number code to get to the configuration screen.
