To use the Honeywell (Metrologic) 1202g barcode scanner with Monsoon Order Manager, the scanner itself must be configured so that a prefix of 3 tildes (~~~) and a suffix of a forward slash (/) are added. (recommended characters).
The Carriage Return (CR) and Line Feed (LR) suffixes added when you selected the appropriate Keyboard Interface are nullified when the forward slash is added as a new suffix. No additional action is required.
The prefix and suffix combination programmed in the barcode scanner must match the prefix and suffix combination specified in the Scanner tab of the Point-of-Sale Setup. Main Menu > Settings > System Functions > Point-of-Sale Setup
The instructions provided below only address the steps required to use the scanner with Monsoon Order Manager – it does not include any additional configuration steps, such as selecting and scanning the appropriate plug and play interface used at your workstation (specific keyboard emulation type, such as IBM PS/2, IBM PC AT, or USB PC). You must obtain, read and understand the material in the scanner’s User Guide to ensure all other settings are properly configured.
You are also responsible for selecting the set of instructions that fit your needs. Instructions to change just the Code128 and UPC-A symbologies are provided here since they are commonly used by Monsoon Order Manager . If your scanner is used with other applications that use different symbologies, do not follow the instructions for setting the prefix and suffix for all symbologies unless you are sure the other application will tolerate the same prefix and suffix. Use the specific instructions for just Code128 and UPC-A, instead, or use different scanners for different applications.
If problems are experienced with a barcode scanner, open Notepad and scan an item's barcode to see if the prefix and suffix are set correctly. Many scanning problems are resolved by re-programming the internal settings of the barcode scanner.
Download the Honeywell (Metrologic Voyager) 1202g User Guide.
Print and scan the code for the type of interface the scanner will emulate. See chapter Programming the Interface.
Print pages 96-97 and 220-221 on a high quality printer.
Decide whether to add the prefix and suffix information to all symbologies, or just the Code128 and UPC-A symbologies. (If you do not use the scanner for other applications, follow the instructions to add the prefix and suffix to all symbologies.)
Execute the appropriate set of instructions below for adding both the prefix and the suffix to all symbologies or just Code128 and UPC-A.
Open Notepad and scan a Sales Receipt or Packing Slip printed through Monsoon Order Manager to confirm the scanner is configured properly (~~~####/)
