welcome to another tech help video brought to you by accesslearningzone.com i am your instructor richard rost today's video is all about scanning barcodes i'm going to show you how to scan upc or isbn barcodes and look up products in your microsoft access database today's question comes from coleman in honolulu hawaii a platinum member coleman says i would love to be able to use a barcode scanner with my access database at first it would be nice to be able to just scan a product and have the details appear on the screen while i'm talking to a customer but eventually i'd like to be able to tie it into my order entry system i know nothing about scanners can you help well coleman you're in luck i certainly can i used to sell computer hardware back in the 90s and real early 2000s and i built my own barcode system using microsoft access of course and i scanned products for the things we'd sell off the shelf using upc codes we sold some books so i had isbn numbers in the database and i also put serial numbers on components of computers we'd buy so if a hard drive went into a computer i could track that specific part using a barcode so if the customer brought the computer back we could scan the barcode and make sure that that was the hard drive that we sold with them so yeah i know a lot about barcoding let's go through some of the basics first first you've got to decide what kind of scanner you want there's corded scanners where you just plug it into a usb port there's wireless scanners that again have a usb dongle or they might run on bluetooth i recommend those although i've got an old corded scanner here that i still use because i barely use it now now that i'm doing online training but even back in my pc hardware days i still just had a wired scanner that just plugged into the usb port and of course there's in-counter scanners like the ones you see at the supermarket and there's also things called portable batch scanners these are scanners that aren't connected to a computer but you can scan things they're good for warehouses it'll store an internal memory like if you're doing inventory you go beep beep beep beep and then when you get back to the computer you plug it in or you connect it and it will download what it just scanned those i haven't really used much but the first two corded scanners and wireless scanners are what we're going to talk about today now of the barcode scanners that are popular there are laser scanners and image scanners laser scanners have that little red light that comes on when you scan a barcode usually you gotta pull a trigger and then a little red light comes on okay those are usually good for scanning...
