Another bar coding issue with Linux
Sorry for the lapse in posts, but I have a new machine and am having a different problem. In the last post, I was trying to use a Honeywell 3800G scanner and was finally able to get it to work. Now I have a new machine and the scanner I am trying to use is a Honeywell Hyperion 1300. This is supposed to be a direct replacement for the 3800 as it is no longer available.
I have contacted Honeywell and all they will tell me is that it has not been tested with Linux (EMC2) and it is not supported and they don't offer a scanner that will work.
I am trying to scan a barcode of a filename to automatically open the the file in Linux (EMC2) to be ready to run.
I can scan an 'o' barcode and get the open dialogue box to pop up just fine, but if I scan a 'otest' barcode, the open dialogue box will open, but the the filename will not be populated and here is the weird part...the axis that is selected will jog and the drop down will change from 'continuous' to '.1'.
Anybody have any ideas?
