ShipRush ADO: Bar Code Scanners

Now that you are a bar coding expert, time for the fun stuff! Bar code scanners are great fun because they do all the thinking.

If you have used a scanner before, you know the drill. Most scanners act as keyboards, and can be used to automatically type into the Search box. To use this simple method, any bar code scanner can be used, and the rest of this page can be ignored.

But that would be a mistake.

ShipRush's bar code scanner support is much more sophisticated. Unlike the 'keyboard' technique described above, the ShipRush system is smart and robust. With ShipRush:

• Any application can be running

• Any application can be in the foreground

• It does not matter where the cursor is

Just scan and go.

No thinking required.

The ShipRush approach is vastly more reliable and usable than the keyboard method. ShipRush will be sitting in the System Tray, and will jump to life when a bar code is scanned.
