How do you make the barcodes, that your scanner will read on the square register?

you don't actually make the barcode, the code is printed on the box or container of store bought item (new in the box). There is number that is under the barcode which is the equivalent of the barcode or UPC (universal product code) and upc's can be bought and used for items on amazon that don't exist on amazon yet. The scanner will not scan the number under the barcode, only a barcode. Hope this helps.

I FOUND THE INSTRUCTIONS. I have them in printed form. My scanners are not working, however, I could mail to you. On the cover of the instructions are two websites: www.homesourceind.com and service@homesourceind.com. Best of luck!

Sorry I don't know the answer to that. The remote has a code scan function detailed in the instructions and you can give it a shot. Best of luck.

While I've not used it with QB, it should work because what the scanner does is to input into the keyboard buffer the number that corresponds to the barcode read. It also adds a carriage return. You must have the cursor in the field where you want the number placed. In other words, the scanner will input where you have placed the cursor just as if you were entering from the keyboard.

I used to have a P-Touch (made by Brother) that creates unique bar code strips. I'm sure there are others out there too.Good luck!

The scanner operates in trigger mode by default, there is a barcode in the manual you can scan to set it to continuous, and another barcode to set it back.

I never tried. Nothing in the instructions say it can read 2d codes. It is just a routine bar code scanner (for virtually all linear type barcode codes). But it does work great for that.

No. This scanner will only read 2D barcodes...like a UPC symbol on a box of cereal at the grocery store. You will need a 3D barcode scanner to read those kinds of codes.

It will print bar codes, but not all bar code types will fit that size label. You may get an error "Bar Code to Big"

All a scanner can do is read a barcode, which is just a string of numbers encoded in lines. When I use this to look for my books or video games, I log into Amazon and click on the search bar. When I see the blinking cursor, I then point the barcode reader at the barcode, pull the trigger. The reader reads the number, entering it, and automatically pushes enter, which tell the search to find my product in in the Amazon database under that barcode, so long as someone has already entered it into the system. If you have a software that is made to catalogue video games, and it has their barcodes in its system, then you could look them up by the barcode. A scanner only reads barcodes or upc codes, it has no memory of its own, its a useful tool if you have to read barcodes. I look up lots of books in the Amazon database. If a book has a barcode I look it up by that, if it does not I look for an ISBN#, or International Standard Book Number. If I don't have that I look it up by title. Unless you have a very large inventory, you might just look up your item by title. I hope my answer clarified the use of this item. I love mine, and this is a well made scanner/barcode reader. Its a sturdy, professional grade scanner.

anything sorta works the problem is that the baud rate drops out constantly, which crashes what ever program you are running, plus these are counterfeit scantool scanners so anything scantool will have a conniption.

Barcode scanner is optional. You do not need the barcode scanner in order to use the full functions of the register. We found it very helpful to use the barcode scanner since it is error free.

It will print bar codes that can be scanned, provided such data was sent to the printer.

This simply scans the information in the bar-code. without a database linking that bar-code to other information, this wouldn't do what you are asking of it.

You need an OCR program to do that , it`s not a scanner issue , it`s a software you need to use

When you choose "address label"; Dymo gives you several layouts to choose from, one of them is a barcode above or below the address. I hope this helps

Usually, yes. However, there are a few things to watch out for. 1.) It needs to be a barcode which the scanner can read. It looks like this scanner can not read 2D barcodes (= dot matrix codes). 2.) Most barcode scanners can be programmed to add into (or drop from) the "scan-stream" certain prefixes, suffixes, characters, controls, etc. The most common example is to add a "Tab" or a "Line Feed" to the end (= suffix) of the scan-stream. Therefore, if you then would scan a barcode into Excel, with a "TAB" suffix it would write the value into the active cell, and then hop one over to the next cell. With a line-feed suffix it would hop one down. With a suffix "Tab Tab Linefeed", it would hop 2 over & 1 down. 3.) Here & there barcodes can contain unexpected control characters, which Excel can process in very unpredictable ways. This is rare, but if it happens, then open Notepad text editor, scan the barcode there, and see what it reveals, b/c Notepad will not process control chars like Excel sometimes does. 4.) If the Caps-Lock is activated, the scan stream is inverted from all upper case to all lower case, or vice versa, depending on what the initial barcode represents. 5.) Some barcodes on shipping crates contain leading characters like "D" embedded into the date or "Q" embedded into the quantity. These can be manipulated either by reprogramming the scanner, or using some Excel worksheet function, etc. 6.) The user manuals of these barcode scanners are typically a real pain to read &/or understand. Luckily, for simple barcode scanning they are pretty much plug-&-play. Only if you were to modify the scanner's behavior (like adding suffixes, etc) you'd need to understand the user manual. 7.) There are free 3of9 TTF (true type fonts) out there for creating your own scan sheets with Excel. Needs some playing around with, but are really useful once figured out. Hope this helps.
