Does it work with PC? Do barcodes have to be programmed in for it to work, or is there a program that does that for you?

Yes ,it does work flawlessly. Just plug into any available usb port and it is ready to go, no other program is required.

This scanner works with pc's (USB) it mimics a keyboard for entry of barcode data. For most uses it does not need to be programmed. That being said a good barcode software is helpful for printing and interpreting different formats of barcodes that do exist. I use this model for office inventory (not retail). You will find other people that have ordered this scanner that use it for retail and do not seem to have had any problems.

You have to program it with bar codes that program it. Motorola has a book that has the bars and they will help you with whatever you need to do.

Yes it works with PC. No barcodes do not have to be programmed and there is no special program. We plugged it in and it immediately started working with system.

Basically, it "types" the numbers for you. So, if you are in Windows notepad and then scan the barcode it will type the barcode for you.

Your bar code scanner will need to have a 9 pin port. If you want to connect to a computer to program the PLU, tax and depts, a null modem cable will do the trick using the same port. Save your programming work to the SD card to easily duplicate programming on multiple registers!

Yes it will insert barcode in the DYMO software. I have never used that feature with my Label Manager. I have no idea how to read the barcode or know if it's correct.

Their website says it works with Windows 8 with special driver installation, but when you click on the link regarding special driver installation, all you get is a blank page. I would go to their website and use the contact link to ask them. It's a good little scanner if you don't have high volume.

I'm not sure, I used ScanCat lite to program mine but it only supports windows. I would suggest you look around for compatible software or just find someone with a windows based computer to load the scanner.

I know it's designed to work with most Windows computers. Since it uses its keyboard driver. So it may work the same way with other Operating systems. And if it works with your computer, it should work with almost any software or service that's also on it.

Yes! I'm using this product rigth out of the box. No programming needed. Programming needed for fancy stuff, like one radio can hear only other and so on. I haven't connecter usb cable to PC yeat, no need to do this

Hello Doug...The scanner inputs text into any field from any barcode so it would work with any program. If you tell me what you're trying to accomplish I may be able to be a bit more helpful.This page may help you also... http://www.taltech.com/barcodesoftware/articles/which_barcode_software

hi Leslie - Actually after owning many different scanners, this one is the easiest to program manually, also i have this software >> http://www.blackbagsoftware.com/bc95xlt/index.htmlBut i find its actually easier to program it manually thru the keypad then connecting to a computer, and using the software, plus you need to buy the software and the usb cable to interface with your computer another 30 bucks.Choice is yours ... either way .. its very easy.Hope this helps you ... ive been using this scanner for awhile anfd i prefer it to my other more expensive ones.Dave hi Leslie - Actually after owning many different scanners, this one is the easiest to program manually, also i have this software >> http://www.blackbagsoftware.com/bc95xlt/index.htmlBut i find its actually easier to program it manually thru the keypad then connecting to a computer, and using the software, plus you need to buy the software and the usb cable to interface with your computer another 30 bucks.Choice is yours ... either way .. its very easy.Hope this helps you ... ive been using this scanner for awhile anfd i prefer it to my other... » Read More hi Leslie - Actually after owning many different scanners, this one is the easiest to program manually, also i have this software >> http://www.blackbagsoftware.com/bc95xlt/index.htmlBut i find its actually easier to program it manually thru the keypad then connecting to a computer, and using the software, plus you need to buy the software and the usb cable to interface with your computer another 30 bucks.Choice is yours ... either way .. its very easy.Hope this helps you ... ive been using this scanner for awhile anfd i prefer it to my other more expensive ones.Dave « Show Less

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.

My macbook pro is running osx 10.8.4. The short answer is yes. it does work. The numbers, tab, operators, and enter keys work right out of the box. Just plug it in. To get the num lock and alt functions to work. i.e. the direction arrows, pgup, pgdn, ins, del I down loaded the free keyremap4macbook app. The preferences are set 'for pc user'&gt;use keypad arrow&gt;use clear key to toggle keypad as arrow. And 'use pc style pageup/pagedown' then is works just like a built in keypad on a keyboard. I only have the program running when im using the keypad. The cord is very short. like 29 inch which barely reaches the right side of the computer if your right handed. Seems pretty well made and is comfortable to use.

Yes it does. I have it sitting on my desk next to my computer. Just put your curser in the field and scan the bar code. Very easy!

There's really nothing to this. 1. Plug into USB port. 2. Turn computer on. 3. When the scanner is on, point it at the little sheet of paper that has all the bar codes and Chinese writing on it. 4. Scan the code you want. It will 'program' the device to work with your computer. See my earlier posting on this to see which scan code is right for you. To test: 1. Open notepad or word or text editor. 2. Find a barcode on something. 3. Scan the barcode with the trigger. The numbers of the barcode will type out on the screen. Note: windows XP, 2000, 7 and 8 as well as all flavors of MAC OS X will see this device as a run-of-the-mill input device, and will treat each barcode scanned as if you had typed the numbers on a keyboard and hit enter.

Once you pair this with your phone, then you can scan barcodes right into a simple text, memo or notepad. Then just save/export that list to wherever your excel sheet is. Or if you are using Microsoft 365 on your mobile device you may be able to scan right into excel, I have not tried that though.

While Baofeng radios can be programmed via the key pad, they do not program like the normal amateur radio HT would. They are difficult, at best, to program manually. The cable hooks from the radio to a PC. you program the radio with the PC. MUCH better! There is lots of freeware out there that works great. One that comes to mind is Chirp. Get the cable, it's worth it.

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.
