The Edge allows users to optimize the store’s efficiency by employing barcodes on nearly all records. Barcodes are used on inventory item, POS receipts, tender cards, gift certificates, and job envelopes (repairs, appraisals, layaways and special orders). Abbott Jewelry Systems recommends an HHP 1300g scanner because it has proven to be reliable, fast, and relatively easy to setup.
When purchased directly from us, the Honeywell Hyperion 1300g Scanner is preprogrammed at our office and should function with The Edge directly out of the box.
To install the scanner:
- Connect the USB interface cable to the barcode scanner.
- Connect the USB interface cable to your computer.
- The barcode scanner will beep once when first connected to the computer. If it does not beep, try connecting the cable to an alternate USB port on your computer.
- Scan the barcodes in the Programming section in order, from top to bottom, without skipping any barcodes.
- The scanner is now set up and ready for use. Test it by scanning inventory barcodes, receipts, envelopes, etc.
You may also verify connectivity by going to the Windows icon on the bottom left, searching Control Panel, then going to Devices and Printers. The barcode scanner should be listed with your devices.
