hey,
My problem is that I have an old DOS program running on a machine and the operator currently keys in file names and then presses tab thrice and two carriage returns to load programs. I would like to automate this with the help of a barcode scanner in which he can just scan a barcode and that will load up the application for him. From my research I have found that certain Keyboard wedge barcode scanners have provisions to include some suffixes and prefixes...what my question is can we have multiple tabs and carriage returns programmed into the scanner suffixes. If this can be done what scanner do you think will do this job best. I am looking for atleast 4 to 5 barcode scanners with this capability and I would appreciate any help from those who are in this market.
thank you,
