Rob,
Of all the work you did to customize the screens to fit the handhelds,
what would be the most important and time saving tip/advice you could
share with me (who will soon need to do the same)?
Thnaks,
Don

I don't do the scanning here. But I can put you in contact with those
that do. We're in the process of swapping up all of our handhelds.
Don't know if they can do the batch. But, they work mighty fine with
our wireless access points throughout all plants in all countries.
Intermec CK31ex25
Got from some company out of Grand Rapids.
Runs Windows CE. So I suspect finding a batch method is probably no big
shakes.
We have a 5250 screen on it's screen. Customized our 5250 screens used
by it to show minimal data and fit into one quadrant.

Handheld bar code scanners
All,
We have some old Telxon PTC-600 handhelds that we have used for many
many many many years to take physical inventory. The 'scans' are held
in the Telxon while roaming the warehouse, then transmitted in batches
to a receiving PC via phone line. The PC file is FTP'ed to the System i
where it is parsed and handled and away we go.
I want to replace this system. The ultimate would be wireless handheld
scanners and access points throughout the warehouse, but a full
warehouse automation is not in the cards right now. I'm looking for
scanners that will still batch the scans, but be able to transmit to the
System i directly. And I want to be able to use them for wireless in
the warehouse later on when the warehouse is set up for it.
Questions:
1) What are the good scanner brands these days?
2) How are they programmed?
3) We have 2 access points in the office. Couldn't the scanning take
place in the warehouse, then, when coming to the office, tell the
scanners to transmit?
4) Data transfer can be 2 ways, right?
5) How about the belt attached printers. Are those available that will
print labels?
Thanks for any help.
