Barcode Scanner Recommendations

Are there any recommendations from iiQ regarding barcode scanners that work well for Rapid Scan? We have bluetooth scanners (Socket Mobile D760s) and Rapid Scan does not detect it as a barcode scanner even after adjusting settings and putting it into app mode. Any suggestions of what has worked for others would be helpful as well.

Hi ​@CCamara 837a122 gnbvt ,

 

I hope you’re doing great! Could you please share the current settings and what happens when you scan asset’s tag or serial number? That would help me in finding a setting combination that can work for you. 

 

I look forward to hearing from you!

 

Regards,

Jas


Hi there, I’ve tried a different variations with no success. 

Here is what is in the barcode scanner options field: { "avgTimeByChar": 51, "timeBeforeScanTest": 45, "minLength": 4, "endChar": [ 9, 13 ] }

 

When we try the test scan, it will populate the correct asset tag number and say the scan was not successful.

Hi ​@CCamara 837a122 gnbvt ,

 

Thank you for sharing the setting! Could you please set the “timeBeforeScanTest” to 100? 

 

If that doesn’t make a difference, please let me know. May you have a great rest of your day!

 

Regards,

Jas


Hi ​@JDhanjal_iiQ,

Setting that value to 100 produced the same error.

Hi ​@CCamara 837a122 gnbvt,

 

Thanks for trying those Adjustments that Jas suggested. I just wanted to chime in to add some additional details and give another suggestion for those scanner settings.
 

The issue you are experiencing might be caused by having the scanner configured in "app mode." For a web-based application like Incident IQ, app mode might prevent the browser from correctly recognizing the barcode data string, even if the text itself populates.

 

Could you try switching the scanner back to its standard Basic/HID (Keyboard Wedge) mode? Once it's in that mode, please try these settings below.

{ 
  "avgTimeByChar": 30, 
  "timeBeforeScanTest": 100, 
  "minLength": 4, 
  "endChar": [9, 13] 
}


Sorry for the late reply, these settings also don’t work with my scanner.

Hi ​@CCamara 837a122 gnbvt ,

 

Thank you for letting us know! If you’d like, I can schedule a Zoom meeting to try a different combination of settings for the Socket Mobile D760s scanner to see if we can find a setting that works for this scanner. Feel free to share your availability including the time and time zone, and I’d be more than happy to schedule a Zoom meeting. May you have a great day ahead!

Jas
