A company receives and ships packages with Barcodes. Data must be transfered into and out of a database for inventory control.
Information taken from a different database is used to make shipping labels.
The operator needs a User Friendly terminal that will display the proper information when scanned and prompt the user for action when there is an error. At the same time, a label needs to be printed that includes two other barcodes and other human readable information. The solution is to use a PC133 touch screen terminal that is tied into the company's computer network. The PC133 serial port is used directly with the scanner and the parallel port is used with a regular laser printer is used to print the pressure sensitive labels. Custom Software provided by Definition Software handled the data transfers in and out of the database, printed the labels, and provided the operator interface to handle exceptions.
