Barcode technology can greatly enhance the efficiency and accuracy of data entry. Receiving, shipping, and point-of-sale processes can be greatly improved by using existing barcodes on products or by printing new barcodes for individual items, cases, or skids.
Barcode Tools
A variety of barcode scanners can be configured to be used with the EBMS software. Scanners must be programmed to work with the EBMS software. EBMS will accommodate scanners that are setup as a keyboard wedge and scanners that are attached to a COM port. There are benefits and limitations involved with each option.
Recommended POS Barcode Scanner:
We recommend going with the Zebra DS2278 Bluetooth Image Scanner for a quality POS Scanner. See Scanners...
Barcode Label Printer
Direct thermal and thermal transfer label printers are recommended to print product barcode labels that may also include pricing. Barcode labels can be printed from a purchase order or inventory item. The EBMS software includes standard product barcode label options. See Label Printers...
Weigh Scale
The weigh scale POS option of EBMS is used to sell a product that is sold by the pound. This option involves a scale connected to the POS Station and is used when the product is weighed at the time of check out. The Weigh Item on Entry option on the inventory item triggers the POS station to capture the weight of the product. A scale must be attached to EBMS before this option can be used.

Avery Berkel's 6720 POS Scale is a great option for those who need a POS scale for items under 30lbs. See Weigh Scales...
Cash Drawer
The EBMS system supports serial and USB cash drawers. The cash drawer can be configured to open when a cash sale is processed within the sales order window or the POS software. The recommended configuration is the serial cash drawer. See Documentation...
