How does one set up a barcode scanner?

Post by Jeremy Schiffer »

So we finally got a barcode scanner. How does one go about making it talk to the THM software?

The scanner I have is essentially the equivalent of typing the barcode number and hitting Enter on the keyboard. It doesn't play nice with the THM software because to add a piece of offfall takes several mouse clicks to accomplish. The manual says nothing of setting this up, it seems to indicate a barcode scanner will just "work".

What's the secret guys?

Disregard... it was a font issue, and I have the barcode font installed now and it is working.
