Set up your hardware
|

Getting started with barcode scanning in Odoo is fairly easy. Yet, a
|
||||
good user experience relies on an appropriate hardware setup. This guide
|
||||
will help you through the task of choosing and configuring the barcode
|
||||
scanner.
|
||||
|
||||
Find the barcode scanner that suits your needs
|
||||
==============================================
|
||||
|
||||
The 3 recommended type of barcode scanners to work with the Odoo
|
||||
**Inventory** and **Barcode Scanning** apps are the **USB scanner**, **the bluetooth
|
||||
scanner** and the **mobile computer scanner**.

|
||||
|
||||
- If you scan products at a computer location, the **USB scanner** is the
|
||||
way to go. Simply plug it in the computer to start scanning. Just
|
||||
make sure when you buy it that the scanner is compatible with
|
||||
your keyboard layout or can be configured to be so.
|
||||
|
||||
- The **bluetooth scanner** can be paired with a smartphone or a tablet and
|
||||
is a good choice if you want to be mobile but don’t need a big
|
||||
investment. An approach is to log in Odoo on you smartphone, pair
|
||||
the bluetooth scanner with the smartphone and work in the
|
||||
warehouse with always the possibility to check your smartphone
|
||||
from time to time and use the software ‘manually’.
|
||||
|
||||
- For heavy use, the **mobile computer scanner** is the handiest solution.
|
||||
It consists in a small computer with a built-in barcode scanner.
|
||||
This one can turn out to be a very productive solution, however
|
||||
you need to make sure that is is capable of running Odoo smoothy.
|
||||
The most recent models using Android + Google Chrome or Windows +
|
||||
Internet Explorer Mobile should do the job. However, due to the
|
||||
variety of models and configurations on the market, it is
|
||||
essential to test it first.
|
||||
|
||||
Configure your barcode scanner
|
||||
==============================
|
||||
|
||||
Keyboard layout
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||

|

|
||||
|
||||
An USB barcode scanner needs to be configured to use the same keyboard
|
||||
layout as your operating system. Otherwise, your scanner won't translate
|
||||
characters correctly (replacing a 'A' with a 'Q' for example). Most
|
||||
scanners are configured by scanning the appropriate barcode in the user
|
||||
manual.
|
||||
|
||||
Automatic carriage return
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Odoo has a 50 milliseconds delay between each successive
|
||||
scan (it helps avoid accidental double scanning). If you want to
|
||||
suppress this delay, you can configure your scanner to insert a carriage
|
||||
return at the end of each barcode. This is usually the default
|
||||
configuration and can be explicitly configured by scanning a specific
|
||||
barcode in the user manual ('CR suffix ON', 'Apply Enter for suffix',
|
||||
etc.).
