Maarten Witberg Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 you need to do a google search on "barcode" and "filemaker" to find a barcode plugin. I suppose triggering the cash draw(er) needs some kind of interface or driver that you can send an event to, but I have not heard of it. I suggest you inform with the cash drawer dealer . kjoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Kortrijk Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 This is mostly done with a special print character (sub ascii 62 codes). You might also want to look at the serial plugin available from TROI. With help of that plugin you can send commands to the serial bus. See http://www.troi.nl/software/serialdetails.html for more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Schaub Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Barcode fields are usally calc fields of other fields I.E. CProduct = calc = =text = "*"& Product & "*" The field must be surround by an asterisk on both side , then choose your barcode font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
