Symbol | Used Barcode Scanner

I have an issue with the USB communication between a Symbol MC9090-G and a host running Windows 2000. I have installed in the computer Microsoft Active Sync 4.5, MCL-LINK version 3 and MCL Designer 3.16. I have tested the USB Connection with the Test option that appears in MCL start menu but it says that there is an error communicaton.

The thing is I have tried the same connection in my laptop which is running Windows XP and it works perfectly. I am sure that the MCL-LINK set up is exactly the same in both computers!

Please, could you help me to sort this problem out?

I have been reviewing the manuals, and I would say USB connection is compatible with Windows 2000, isn’t it?

I am really looking forward for your help.

Thank you very much.

I have a Symbol Ls2208 barcode scanner. I can’t get it to work!?

I have a symbol LS2208 barcode scanner that has a DB9 serial connector. since my computer doesn’t support that port, i bought a USB – DB9 connector and i can’t get it to work even with the driver software that came with the adapter. Does anyone know of a driver that might make this work?

How does this barcode symbol actually show that celebrity accounts on Facebook are real?

How does this barcode symbol actually show that celebrity accounts on Facebook are real?
There are some celebrities on Facebook (and Youtube) that usually claim that they are real with some sort of barcode symbol.

For example, Selena Gomez’s Facebook account has that barcode symbol under her profile picture that makes it official:

I would have copy and pasted it, but i fear that it would get me in trouble. How does this actually prove that they are real?
Sorry guys, i would’ve posted her account, but Yahoo wouldn’t let me do that cause i got the 999 error.
But still, Selena has over 4000 Facebook friends

Best answer:

Last time I checked celebrities don’t actually have a Facebook profile where you have to send a friend request, they just set up their own page.

Facebook has banned people from having “Selena Gomez” as their Facebook name and I don’t really get why a celebrity would use their real name on their private profile, they most often use aliases. her most popular page on Facebook has no barcode

I can sort of see what you’re talking about, like how Twitter has that little blue “Verified Account” check mark and usually you just have to fill out some form and how exactly they confirm it is something I’d like to know too but they probably call the agent and confirm with them

HELP! Job depends on it. Is anyone familiar with TELXON or SYMBOL inventory scanners used for inventory?

HELP! Job depends on it. Is anyone familiar with TELXON or SYMBOL inventory scanners used for inventory?
The are wireless hand held scanners used for inventory control. My problem is that I need to know just how perfect these are? When I use one, sometimes it drops numbers, doesen’t transmit the numbers I punch in, it goes dead in the middle of a function, sometimes it flashes ‘power fault’ but then continues on, etc… my employer says this is impossible because these guns are perfect! Does anyone else have anything they can tell me about these scanners or about maintinence they should have…. anything would be appreciated. I know these guns are screwing up.

Best answer:

They are both good brands of bar code scanners, but they don’t last forever. What you describe sounds more like a faulty battery pack. The laser pulls quite a bit of power when scanning and could be causing a voltage drop, If the battery is not up to snuff. Also the transmitter sometimes uses a lot of power if you are not close to the base.
Another thing that can cause read problems is a poorly printed bar code. I’ve seen a Symbol 3800LRT (which is an old scanner) read a bar code that was half there, and I know the Telxon are just as good. The bar code itself has error detection features that the scanner can check, (except Code 39 ). Since the decode occurs after the read, what you describe doesn’t sound like a read problem.
As for maintenance, You may need to occasionally clean the window for the laser. Lense papers work okay for this. The wireless scanners usually use a frequency-hopping spread-spectrum that is pretty immune to inteference. You base unit may be getting interference, and the battery pack should be tested occasionally, some of the storage-chargers racks can check the battery.
Hint: Batteries plus may e able to rebuild the battery packs for less than buying a new one from the manufacturer.
