You will have to use 3rd Party softwares to read the barcode for you!!!

You have to use an Optical Character Recognition software (OCR). Usually one comes with the scanner.  It reads the page, and does its best to convert the page into a text file that you can edit.

You can purchase a very cheap thumb print scanner, and use the PC for authentication. Then have the PC trigger a solenoid via the serial or parallel port. You could use a microcontroller instead of a PC, but you will need to program the microcontroller.

Best way is to have 2 tables.  A header and details table.\n\nThe header table will have one row per sale.  Key field would be invoice number.\n\nThe detail table will have details of each sale.  One row per item.  Key field would be invoice number and item number\n\nJoin field would be invoice number.

Dont know what scanner software you are using but there should be a resolution setting, tweak it down a little until you find a happy spot!

Been thinking about same myself, Maps can be helpful for direction of what a person may be looking for.\n\nPrices are nicer then having to go to another page to find one, of course it might depend on item - value, quantity, quality and actual price...\n\nDepending on  which Comp. sales line you get with might make a huge difference on cost! If only some things to get rid of try e-bay, or maybe get an account started with e-bay or similar...\n\nTry going to google and put a few words in reference to your question, to narrow down the 1000's of respondents, add or change wording to narrow down to see something that you may want to work with or through...\n\nGood Luck!

I'm afraid that the feature that you want to make work won't happen.\nReasons:\n1) You may connect a Scanner to computer using USB or Parallel Cable.\n2) You need the necessary Microchip./PCB (Printed Control Board) for the Fax machine to convert the info in to digital format and transfer to computer.\n3) Even if you are able to connect it some how, you need a DRIVER for the scanner to work.\n\nBetter to buy a Scanner rather than spoiling your Fax machine.

While what you want to do could be done with Access, programming Access to do it -- make the forms, the queries and reports needed -- is very difficult, if you don't have fairly advanced database / Access skills.\n\nAlso, you're going to want this product to have rock-solid support -- because once you start using it, you'll be tied to it, and if it fails, you'll need it fixed ASAP.\n\nAs a result, you're not going to find something like what you are asking for out there for free, and having it custom programmed is going to cost more than buying it off the shelf -- at least, if the programmer is worth his salt.\n\nInstead, you should look for an off-the-shelf solution.\n\nQuickbooks -- http://www.intuit.com -- is one option; it technically is bookkeeping software, but it has advanced inventory management features and can handle purchase orders / autodepleting inventory based on purchase orders.\n\nIt will cost several hundred dollars to purchase, but you will find, again, that even so, it's one of the more affordable solutions.\n\nShort of that, there are lots of other software packages out there; most will cost even more than Quickbooks.\n\nA final option might be to find a college student who is in a database administration or programming course, and see if he's be willing to build this for you on the cheap. But remember, you get what you pay for.

Ok, if you have 2000 different types of items, then, yes I'd say you probably would. Depends on the company you're getting your codes from.\n\nHowever, if they are 2000 of the same item, you only need 1 barcode. This is printed on all of the items. The UPC stays the same for each type of item. The printing costs for the labels, etc are all you'd pay, so registering more than a few hundred UPC's would be overkill.

You will need Label Flash or Lightscribe discs. You can buy these for any reputable supplier e.g Ebuyer, scan etc.

You need an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program. Omnipage is one. I know HP is packaging ABBYY, an OCR program with its printer/scanner combinations, so OCR software might be part of the package that came with your scanner.

u have to get a usb scanner cable. its better if you get an original one, because it have a signal booster in it.\n\nusb printer cable will fits in usb scanner.\n\noctipro is not a network scanner, u have to connect it to one pc and then share the scanner to your network.

As mentioned above, a scanner can be used for putting a picture or text onto your computer. If you haven't seen one, they mostly look like very small copy machines(with the glass window where the object is placed). I doubt you are referring to the radio scanner, but they are devices that scan through a set of frequencies you enter, so that you can hear the police ar other emergency workers talking over their radios.
