Barcoding Add-on

The FASTER Barcoding Add-on provides the ability to scan and print labels. This module allows for ease of data entry as well as inventory control. It also is beneficial when an in-house numbering system is in use, scanning either the in-house label or the OEM label.

• Simplifies inventory and intake processes for inventory items and storerooms.
• Quickly scan incoming inventory with Symbology – Code 128 barcodes.
• Reduces data errors that occur with any manual data entry process.
• Print barcode labels for items, including labels for a range of items simultaneously.

Prerequisites

• It is important that you have your hardware setup and operating prior to your implementation. The Barcoding add-on does not include hardware, (i.e. scanners and printers).

Additional Considerations

• • Scan distance – Is affected by the amount of detailed data incorporated into the printed label. So if your part number is a full 27 characters long, the scan distance will be less than for part numbers that have only 6 or 10 characters.
  • Scanner Usage – Tethered (Corded) vs. RF or Wireless (Cordless): These offer different advantages. Keep in mind that when scanning any item the screen cursor must be in the proper field in FASTER. Keyboard actions, such as a TAB, can be pre-programmed into the scanners to streamline data entry.
