Title: Bar Code Labels
Post by admo on 05/08/03 at 13:44:10

We would like to use bar code labels with DBA. We do not have a zebra printer and would be starting from scratch. We would also like to be able to scan inventory in and out with a gun. Does anyone do this with the DBA system. Give me a starting point. How do I do this?
Thanks

We've had good luck printing our bar code labels with the same printer we use to print our UPS shipping labels. Its a direct thermal printer that can print labels up to 4" wide.

As for scanning, if you get a wedge style scanner that hooks into your keyboard port your computer will treat the scanned data just like typed text.

Using Wasp Barcode Fontware & Crystal Reports 8.5 (with report distribution addon) we have been able to print barcode labels by entering a sales order number, line number and quantity.

CR uses an ODBC link to DBA database files

BKARINV (SO-A screen 1)
BKARINVL (SO-A screen 2)
BKICREF (IN-L-C)

to pull name, p.o. number, our p/n, their p/n, part description & rev. level. (we use the last field in IN-L-C for rev. level)

We also utilize the UPS printers for outer carton labels. We bought some Zebra printers for inner pkg.

Note: Report writing experience is VERY helpful. ;)
