Barcode Scanning+thermal printer
jodybingo:
I use a magnetic swipe reader and the setup is pretty much the same. The bar code reader should come with software that allows you to configure how it acts. With my reader, I set it to send "B" to TD before sending the information coded on the magnetic bar. In TD, I programmed the letter 'B' as a hotkey to buy-in players. From the preferences tab select Behaviors along the left and make sure Auto-Seat, Buy-In and Paid in Full is checked. Program a hotkey to coincide with your bar code reader's first character that you program and go for it!!!

Could u tell me the software name ? my barcode is USB and didnīt come with a software, and I donīt know how to setup a key like 'B' for buy in players... like u did...
jodybingo:
Each piece of hardware (barcode scanner, card reader) has proprietary driver and software that is most often NOT shipped with it, however look on your manufacturers website and check for a support, drivers, or a download link. From there you should be able to look up your model number and select the software you need.
Next, your software should allow you to send a character to your computer before it sends the data it scans. You define that character (on my system I programmed an asterisk). In TD, on the Hotkeys tab, I programmed a new hotkey with the asterisk as the hotkey and the command it sent to TD was to buy-in players. The Auto-Seat and Paid In Full were all checked (as well was the Auto-Print on the Preferences Tab>Print). When I swipe a card, it sends an asterisk to TD which initiated a Buy-In Players dialog. The number on the card scans into the search field and TD automatically looks it up. If the Auto-Perform action is not checked, you should now check it off. With auto-perform checked TD will buy-in the player, produce a table and seat and a receipt (if you are using receipts)

Jody...
Thanks, about the reply...
But I need any software to try... because my barcode scanner doesnīt have a software for it..
my barcode scanner : http://www.dealextreme.com/p/acan-8100-handheld-usb-barcode-scanner-12559
If u know any software, can I try, let me know...

I use the software below to interact with my barcode scanner and TD
http://www.tec-it.com/software/data-acquisition/twedge/keyboard-wedge/Default.aspx
It acts as a keyboard wedge. It grabs the scanned data from my serial port and sends it to TD as keystrokes. You can use Twedge to send whatever character you want before the scanned data. I think I send CTRL+B, which is my hotkey for buy-in.
Hope this helps,
Beaker
