Barcode read input for characteristic
names and comments
It is possible to scan a barcode name in ETA5 at certain prompt lines. The input of a barcode is
allowed at the characteristic name prompt in store characteristic, direct characteristic and edit
characteristic modes. In addition it is also possible to scan a barcode in the comment field in
store characteristic only. Edit characteristic and normal store behave in a slightly different man-
ner to direct characteristic. The ETA5 will accept most barcode reading formats, but not all.
General Operational Method for Scanning Bar Code Data
Connect the Bar Code Reader ETA-BAR to the Printer/PC connector at the rear of the ETA5.
Barcode readings can generally be taken at the prompt to input data (Characteristic name or a
comment) when the flashing cursor is on the screen. This can be on a blank line or following a
line of data (an existing characteristic or a comment). When the cursor is flashing, scan the
code with a barcode reader and observe the screen. If the flashing cursor disappears, the code
has been captured - wait a few seconds for the data to appear in the display. If the flashing cur-
sor remains, re-scan the code until it is accepted.
When the data is displayed, press to continue. From this point, follow the instructions
as for normal data input.
When entering data via the Bar Code Reader into a comment field, make sure you have
reserved enough characters in the comment field to accept the code. If the number of charac-
ters scanned in exceeds the number reserved, the ETA5 will beep and refuse to accept the
data. Refer to the instructions on Configuration for more details.
