hi, is it possible to send the order from a computer and it appears on the Barcode machine

With the quantity and description , and the user on the barcode machine scans only the itmes

That already received , if he scan another item , it will beep or will not let him ?

Hi Jihad,

This would be possible and the data can be synced to a device in 2 ways:

1. Manual Import of a tab delimited text file.
2. Sync of the data from an ODBC database or Excel sheet using our TracerPlus Connect software.

This data would be synced to an order list session on the device that can be referenced when doing your scans. In the scanning session you would most likely enter an order number which can then filter a grid showing items and quantities expected on this order. Then as you scan items, the info will be looked up from the order list and the qty will be deducted and when it hits 0 can be removed from the grid. If they scan too many or an item not on the order an error can be displayed to the user.

We have some sample apps you can try if you have a device that has similar behavior to the above if you want to check it out:

many thanks joseph, got the idea.
now i am trying to figure out how to send the order from the billing application to the ODBC and then try to let the tracerplus connect automatically send it to the barcode mobile machine.
i know am requesting too much but ,you think can it be done ? i mean the tracer connect automatically sense and push the order to the barcode machine ?
am using wince.
thank you

A few things you can do here with TracerPlus Connect:

1. Setup a timed sync that runs every so many minutes and add a sync filter based on some flag set in each record that would determine whether it would be synced or not. IE status flag set to 1 that maybe gets updated to 2when complete so it only syncs those with a status of 1.

2. Use Connect in Live mode so you are connecting to the database directly instead of doing a sync process. This would require Wi-Fi or WAN connectivity and speed could be an issue depending on your environment.
