I don't know about Leigh, but my company has several USB Symbol LS2208
Barcode Scanners.
In fact I'm going to be ordering two more here shortly.
In our case we run Solaris 10 x64 w/ SRSS 3.1. Not sure if that will
matter for you. I just wanted to make it clear we do not use CAM,
Windows connector, Terminal Services, Linux w/SRSS 3.1.1 etc.. So if
you do I can't say if it will work OK for your particular
situation/application. For scanning from a Sunray DTU with a terminal
window connected to our ERP system it works great.
Also I've only tested on Sunray 1G's. Just got some Sunray 2's and
2FS's last Thursday, but haven't tested the scanners on them. I can
only imagine they will work fine too.

Leigh ..
can you tell me model numbers of Symbol devices you got this working
with?
Thanks!

Hiya,
I am using Symbol USB barcode scanners here with SunRays.
They are USB scanners and look like keyboards, so the barcode you scan
just gets inputted the same as if it were being typed in from a keyboard.
You can configure the barcode scanner to input certain keystrokes
before/after it sends the actual barcode so you could use say ^K to grab
an applications attention, have the scanner send the barcode and then
have the scanner send ENTER.
This is exactly what we do here, works nicely.

Hello SunRay-Users,
Since the scanners matter was recently active, I have a question
here too :)
We have seen in the docs that among different devices Sun Rays
can support USB barcode scanners. In short, how far does this
support go? :)
Is it limited to certain devices or their usage, or does it
stream everything to the application level?
I'll try to describe our situation concerning this problem:
We co-develop a custom application which currently works only
under MS Windows, which is sort of an ERP/CRM/docflow app.
It uses barcodes to identify all printed documents, and our
programmers have developed a utility (for Windows) which can
translate signals from the barcode scanner to Windows system
messages. These in turn are captured by the GUI program and
trigger some activity, i.e. open a dialog to edit the electronic
version of the document.
This was developed using an USB CipherLab-1000 scanner, which
under Windows gets a COM port number and the developed utility
accesses this COM port to wait for input from the scanner.
Now, we discussed deploying this whole application in a customer's
new environment which can be filled with Sun Rays instead of
WinPCs as desktop workplaces - if we get the scanners working
in general and through uttsc in particular.
So far this has not become an experimental project (i.e. I don't
yet know whether this scanner does or does not work with a Sun Ray),
but perhaps the list members know if it works and what caveats to
expect and how to work around them?
In particular, does the Sun Ray appliance and SRS support USB-serial
converters (as one seems to be built in this scanner)?
