    Update: the QUANTITY component that you see at 2:11 is now called NUMBER, as explained here: barcodetopc.com/tutorial/quantity-parameter/

    Sounds Great !
    Can we do some editing on scanned barcode before it's typed on computer?
    Like if we want to insert several (physical) barcodes as one item (in computer)

    • @barcodebyte
      @barcodebyte  4 роки тому

      Yes, you can do that by using the [JAVASCRIPT FUNCTION] component, see this: barcodetopc.com/tutorial/how-to-use-the-javascript-function-component/
      To acquire multiple barcodes you can add more [BARCODE] components to the Output template, see this: barcodetopc.com/tutorial/how-to-create-output-templates/
      I hope it helps!

    • @barcodebyte
      @barcodebyte  11 місяців тому

      Certainly! Barcode to PC does just that, types the barcodes inside desktop programs. If you need to install the server to an older Windows version, download the v3.18.1 from the version archive: barcodetopc.com/download/

    Hello, can you use Barcode to PC without any network? I mean, only using an USB wire.

    • @barcodebyte
      @barcodebyte  3 роки тому +1

      unfortunately, the network is required, but you can use the smartphone itself to create a personal hotspot network and connect the computer to it. (It should work also with USB Tethering)
      For iPhone see this: support.apple.com/en-us/HT204023#sections:~:text=go%20to%20Settings%20%3E%20Cellular%20%3E,and%20make%20sure%20that%20it's%20on

    Hi, can I use this for commercial purposes? I am building an accounting software. Also, how can I access the barcode numbers from python (if supported at all?) I am assuming I could access it if the information is stored in one of the folders within the Barcode to PC server file

      You can use the CSV_UPDATE component to change the values inside a csv file: barcodetopc.com/output-template/how-to-use-the-csv_update-component/
      So the final Output template would look like this:
      [BARCODE] [CSV_LOOKUP] [JAVASCRIPT_FUNCTION] [CSV_UPDATE]
      Where:
      - the CSV_LOOKUP is used to read the current value,
      - the JAVASCRIPT_FUNCTION is used to compute the new value, using this code: parseInt(csv_lookup) - 1
      - the CSV_UPDATE writes the new value inside the csv file

      Most of the time it’s the antivirus or firewall that it’s blocking the connection. Try to temporarily pause them and then when you identify what was blocking the connection add Barcode to PC to the exceptions lists.
      Windows firewall instructions: barcodetopc.com/tutorial/configure-windows-firewall/
      If it still doesn't work, perhaps it's because your router creates two different networks for the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands and doesn't allow communication between them.
      It may also happen that the networks have the exact same name, so a solution could be to disable the auto-join option for the 5 GHz network on both the computer and smartphone and use only the 2.4 GHz.
      Let me know if it works,

      Once you identify what's blocking the connection, add the server to the exceptions list.
      Also check Windows Firewall as explained here: barcodetopc.com/tutorial/configure-windows-firewall/
