To the system directory, and from what I can tell has implemented the OPOS 1.5 interface whereas the POS for. They only provide an OCX control (scanner.ocx) that gets installed But it would appear none of their stuff actually works with POS for. The USB OPOS mode assuming that since this was an OPOS driver, that I should be setting it to that mode.Īfter I changed it to the 'IBM Hand-Held USB' mode, the Symbol provided sample apps actually work correctly now. In order for their driver to work PROPERLY, you need to set the scanner to 'IBM Hand-Held USB' mode and NOT 'USB OPOS Hand-Held'. SameĪfter digging through the Symbol OPOS driver readme file some more, I discovered one really stupid thing. So when I built my own app and set it to 32-bit mode, then the driver would load, but would not function. The reason why the default build of the sample app fails, is because it runs 64-bit. To find a better brand of scanners, from a company that actually cares about people trying to write code to support their products. Net? I have been trying for months to get a response out of Motorola about this, but nobody seems to answer any of my requests.

If not, can anyone recommend a GOOD brand of laser scanners (corded and wireless) that DO work with POS for. So, has anyone had experience with this problem, and successfully gotten Symbol USB scanners to work with POS for. Even the sample apps they include with their drivers don't work properly either. Symbol don't seem to work at all with POS for. So I thought perhaps it just does not work on Windows 7 64-bit, so I tried it all under Windows XP 32-bit and I get the EXACT same problem. The key is that for whatever reason the scanner device is not functioning. The device cannot perform the requested procedure.īlah blah blah.

OSControlException ErrorCode(Failure) ExtendedErrorCode(0) occurred: Method Open threw an exception. Now it gets past that problem, but it bails when it tries to call the Open()įunction on the scanner device. The Symbol bar code scanners to work at all!įirst I ran into problems with the original build of the program running on Windows 7 giving errors trying to create the scanner device, so I built my own project and built it. The sample apps from the SDK build and run on Windows 7 64-bit, but I cannot get Net, and it looks like what I need and Symbol has POS for. It does not look like Motorola plans to do any work on that driverĪnd port it to 64-bit Windows, so I have been looking at other options. They work well, and we interface to them using the Simple COM Port Emulation driver. We have been using Symbol LS2208 and LS4278 scanners in our warehouse for some time with our custom apps.
