Barcode Scanners
We do not sell or support scanner hardware.
However, we will explain usage and recommend what we feel is the best scanner for the price.

Barcode scanners can easily be used with Dojo MBA to automate your student check-in process or assist in point of sale operations.


There are 2 ways that scanners interface to a computer:

Keyboard Wedge Connection
It is inserted between the keyboard and keyboard port on the computer, and the input appears as ordinary keystrokes. Simply put there is no difference from typing the barcode value from the keyboard. USB Scanners are usually this type as well.

Serial Connection
Connects to the serial port of a computer and must be handled by the application. This would allow you to do attendance check-in in the background while doing other tasks at the same time. However, this type does not work with the point of sale module.
