is this scanner able to be configured to automatically add <ENTER> after scanning a barcode?

I use this scanner to ship my products to Amazon and enter the data into a shipping program. I have also used it to scan and catalog books into a word program

Yes, comes preconfigured that way. You can remove that feature, change it to <TAB> or <LF>

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.

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.

I scan ups and fed-ex bar codes at work with a similar scanner,just highlight where you want the #

The best way to use this scanner, or most others, for that matter, is to search for the code on YouTube. I have almost always found a good solution, often times not the one I was expecting. Incidentally, this scanner worked very well for me.

No software was required its plug in play you simply select the field where you want to input the barcode and scan it.

Yes, it comes with a key that you can use to bypass code input when needed.

Hello. I just tried it and it did scan a bar code off of a computer screen.

Like others have said, this will convert a barcode into a string of numbers. At the end of the string, it inserts a carriage return command (like hitting the ENTER key). Think of it as an extension of you keyboard. It is a data entry device.

Yes, the "pen" will place the scanned text at the cursor location. The text is then part of the file into which it was inserted.

I believe it should scan any barcode you might have. It connects through Bluetooth if I remember correctly. It comes with a USB attachment for a wireless connection option as well. Doesn't work well for mobile devices though since unless you resolve the keyboard conflict.

We've been using the scanner that came with the register, and we have several thousand barcoded items loaded in. I have not had any problems with its function, but you do need to hold the scanner close to the barcode and give it time to pick up, a second or so. Some items with wrinkled wrappers where the code is may need a little work, but I haven't run across any items that wouldn't scan at all.

According to the item specifications this is what I found. Optional Handheld Bar Code Scanner ( ROYAL PS700 ) connects via integrated serial connection

There is a code in the book that came with it, that you scan. You have to enter program mode first, then scan the code. I'm not sure which one it is, but you can try several options until it works.

Yes, my experience is plug-and-play. I plugged in the USB connector into my computer, and any time that I want to scan a barcode, I place the cursor where I want the barcode, scan the item and the barcode appears. I hope this helps.

Never had to try it, but you would still have to hold down the scan button...there is a way to automatic scan, but we don't use it for our purposes.

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.
