ITrack/Barcodes

2025-05-13T18:44:08Z

Jwise: /* Presage */

Several elements of ITrack and ITrack software utilize barcodes. All ITrack products should utilize a similar barcoding scheme.

== Encoding ==
All bar codes are done via standard [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_39 3-of-9].

== Preamble and postamble ==
Virtually every barcode scanner can be programmed to simulate a keypress combination before entering the barcode contents (the preamble) and after (postamble).

=== ITrack Pro ===
ITrack Pro document screens (Sales, Quotes, Purchase Orders) expect a preamble of Ctrl+b and a postamble of \n.

The document screens will take whatever value is between those characters and do a lookup by [[ITrack/Pro/Part Number|partnum]] (the value encoded in barcodes on ITrack Pro tags), and if no values are found by partnum, by UPC (the value encoded into the barcodes printed on most products).

=== Workclock ===
The workclock system expects the barcode scanner to provide a preamble and postamble of ':$:'.

=== LXW ===
LXW defaults to preamble '~' [126] and postamble '\r' or 'enter' [13], but can be changed via Settings: 'ITrack LX'-'Preamble Character Codes' and 'Postamble Character Codes'

https://keyevents.netlify.app/

== Barcode Formatting ==
Depending on the context, the barcode will encode different types of values.

=== Notes on Formatting ===
* The '*' character is never passed on to the client application.
** The '*' character is specific to 5of9 barcodes and should only be include when generating barcodes using the 5of9 barcode font.
** If you use a third party barcode generator or if you are artificially sending scans to a app via javascript, '''DO NOT''' include the '*' character.
***Actually, we should change this page to get rid of '*' on all the barcode formats, then change this note to "ADD * to beginning and end of a 5of9 barcode if you are generating it using 5of9 font".
* Square brackets indicate where actual ids etc should be placed.
** They are NOT included in the final barcode.

==== An example to ilistrate using lxw as an example: ====
*Given a sales order from store 1 with id 5318008.
*And a format from this wiki as *S[storeid]-[salesorderid]*

;using 5of9 font to print a barcode:
: *S1-5318008*

;generating a barcode using 3rd party tool or simulating a scan:
: S1-5318008

==== Caveats ====

== Setting up a Munbyn Scanner ==
This is for the MUNBYN IPDA081/IPDA086 Mobile Data Terminal: https://pos.munbyn.com/munbyn-ipda081-rfid-handheld-computer/ 
To set up: 
 
Swipe up to see apps, then tap on "keyboardemulator". 
On the "Function" page, make sure "Enable Scanner" is on. 
[[File:scanner1.png|200px]]
 
 
On the "AppSettings" page, turn on "Release key off scan" (if it is not already enabled).
 
[[File:scanner2.png|200px]]
 
 
Then scroll down to "Process mode". Make sure it is set to "keyboard input". Under "End mark", none of the options should be checked. 
[[File:scanner3.png|200px]]
 
 
Prefix/preamble and suffix/postamble for the device can be edited under "Data Format". If using a test program that uses prefix/suffix, be sure that the prefix/suffix in the program and in the scanner setting app (keyboardemulator) are the same. 
[[File:scanner4.png|200px]]

 

== NOTE on ENTERPRISE LX setup ==
enterpise lx default pre/postable
preamble = "126" = "~"
postamble = "13" = "Enter"

For munbyn scanner, the postamble/suffix does not allow you to use "Enter" so you need to leave that blank and instead check the box under EndMark that says "Enter"

Jwise: Acting Career added

John Wise [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm8613259/ (Acting Career) ]was born in a hollow tree trunk, in the Minden Bog, in the year oh his people, known as, "The Time of Great Embarrasment."

While he was still in his youth, the elders determined that he was the one the prophecy foretold; he was That Guy.

After fashioning himself a crown to suit his new position (composed of three paperclips and several packs of bendy straws), he promptly continued to do as he always had. This garnered the attention of the local townsfolk who founded the religion formally known as This Guy, which numbers in the tens even today.

However, in a google translate accident, a misunderstanding lead to the disciples to fail to heed a warning of incoming nuclear strikes as "buy more bread".

To be continues.

(It was later found that That Guy's crown was actually styrofoam)

ITrack/Barcodes

2016-09-29T21:45:30Z

Jwise: /* LXW */

Several elements of ITrack and ITrack software utilize barcodes. All ITrack products should utilize a similar barcoding scheme.

== Encoding ==
All bar codes are done via standard [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_39 3-of-9].

== Preamble and postamble ==
Virtually every barcode scanner can be programmed to simulate a keypress combination before entering the barcode contents (the preamble) and after (postamble).

=== ITrack Pro ===
ITrack Pro document screens (Sales, Quotes, Purchase Orders) expect a preamble of Ctrl+b and a postamble of \n.

The document screens will take whatever value is between those characters and do a lookup by [[ITrack/Pro/Part Number|partnum]] (the value encoded in barcodes on ITrack Pro tags), and if no values are found by partnum, by UPC (the value encoded into the barcodes printed on most products).

=== Workclock ===
The workclock system expects the barcode scanner to provide a preamble and postamble of ':$:'.

=== LXW ===
LXW defaults to preamble '~' [126] and postamble '\r' or 'enter' [13], but can be changed via Settings: 'ITrack LX'-'Preamble Character Codes' and 'Postamble Character Codes'

http://www.k68.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Key_Codes.htm

http://www.west-wind.com/WestwindWebToolkit/samples/Ajax/html5andCss3/keycodechecker.aspx

== Barcode Formatting ==
Depending on the context, the barcode will encode different types of values.

=== Notes on Formatting ===
* The '*' character is never passed on to the client application.
** The '*' character is specific to 5of9 barcodes and should only be include when generating barcodes using the 5of9 barcode font.
** If you use a third party barcode generator or if you are artificially sending scans to a app via javascript, '''DO NOT''' include the '*' character.
***Actually, we should change this page to get rid of '*' on all the barcode formats, then change this note to "ADD * to beginning and end of a 5of9 barcode if you are generating it using 5of9 font".
* Square brackets indicate where actual ids etc should be placed.
** They are NOT included in the final barcode.

==== An example to ilistrate using lxw as an example: ====
*Given a sales order from store 1 with id 5318008.
*And a format from this wiki as *S[storeid]-[salesorderid]*

;using 5of9 font to print a barcode:
: *S1-5318008*

;generating a barcode using 3rd party tool or simulating a scan:
: S1-5318008

|}
* Encoded location names are currently accepted as alternate location barcode formatting even though it is not standard.

==== Caveats ====
Technically, non-conforming barcode scans that contain letters and numbers are treated as locations as a work-around for an existing setup. However, this behavior is NOT supported in the long-term and will be deprecated and removed without notice. Don't rely on it!

Watermarking in LX

==Watermarking in LXpro and LXQ ==

*$watermarkpercent = 0.25;
*$iswatermark = true;

$Watermarkpercent how large the watermark is relative to source image.

== Weaknesses ==
List of things to fix in the current scheme that will cause trouble down the road:
* Inventory ID and InventoryID-SerialID are not prefixed, (potentially) overlapping with number-only string location names
* Inventory ID, InventoryID-SerialID, LocationID do not include storeid, requiring it to be guessed at and limiting its effectiveness if not outright causing bugs
