I am working as a programmer for a hospital. I want to use barcode scanner in my application. I just want to know how can i provide input to my application which can read the barcode of a particular medicine and accordingly makes necessary updation in the database.
Any One can help me in this or can provide suggestions on this..
Hi,
When u purchase BarCode Scanner, it Comes with complete Package (Fonts/LabelPrint/ReaderSettings etc..)
What we normally do is, When Purchase, A unique Number is allotted to that medicine/Item.
In Item Printing, "BarCode" font is used for that Unique key.
This label is sticked on the Item.
While Sales, when u shoot the Barode reader Gun on the BarCode Label,
It Reads the Unique Key and u will have to code for that.

Thanks Veena for this valuable info..
I would like to know about different Barcode Scanners which can give me maximum benefit with reasonable cost.
Please throw some light on Barcode Scanner's features and thier costs of aquisition.
Hi KhanAyub,
There are diff types of BarCode Scanners. It all depends on these factors:
Scanning Depth
Scan Speed
Optical Range
Optical System
Handsfree operation
and S/w Packaged with it.
They start from 3000 Rs. But Reasonable Good BarCode Scanners are Somewhere > 5000 Rs.
