In order to meet a wide range of requirements, we have implemented three different options in easyjob for processing barcodes. You can find an overview of the three barcode processing options below.

With the easyjob Scanner App you can use the scanner functionality for almost any end device with a camera (at least Android 6.0). Processional barcode terminals also work with the app and have a display and keyboard entry. Functions such as availability check, inventory, entering material that requires repair, assignment of serial numbers and checking jobs in and out are available. The barcodes and packing lists, as well as the digital signature on the display, can be printed out via the Scanner App. You can find more details in the easyjob Scanner App manual . The user receives a confirmation immediately after a barcode is processed.

With a batch scanner, all scanned barcodes are stored on the device. The device does not have any additional intelligence. A signal tone will signal that the barcode was correctly processed. After all barcodes have been scanned, the barcodes are read and processed using the easyjob batch mode. Any existing conflicts are identified and must be resolved.

Barcodes can be processed in the easyjob Bill of Items using the barcode field. This requires the use of the barcode scanner, which emulates the entry of the information via a keyboard. We recommend this option only if necessary as visual contact with the computer is necessary in order to react to possible conflict messages.

The type of barcode determines if an object is processed as an individual device or a bulk item. Devices and item barcodes can be printed in the item master data. A device barcode identifies the respective device. An item barcode is used when an item is issued as a bulk item. The respective quantity can be selected on the Scanner App before scanning. See also Numbers for barcodes.

1D barcodes are generated by default in format code 128. The value behind the barcode is generated by easyjob. Barcodes can be generated for items, devices, projects, jobs, addresses and users. Each dataset number is generated in a special syntax (e.g. @x112) so easyjob can quickly select the data sets. See also Barcode processing.

When creating the easyjob customer number (licensing), the Unique Company Identifier (UCI) is automatically assigned. It is set before the @symbol when creating the barcode (e.g. PS@st19331) and is therefore unique and unambiguously identifiable worldwide Its uses include, e.g., data exchange (delivery notes, etc.) between companies that use easyjob. The Prefix is hidden when scanning barcodes with the easyjob Scanner App. The Unique Company Identifier is created automatically when creating the barcode from the easyjob barcde report template.

The thermotransfer printers provide the best price/performance ratio. A transfer ribbon (carbon ribbon) transfers the information in black onto the label. The labels are generated directly in easyjob using the List&Label Designer. The appearance and respective information can be individually customized using the report designer. The label material is very robust and difficult to remove. Due to the enormous amount of stress placed on the equipment in the industry, it is also possible for the label material to be affected and require replacement.

In general, integrating an RFID portal is possible. It is not included standard in easyjob. If you are interested in its integration, we are happy to check if and for what cost a connection with easyjob is possible.

The easyjob Scanner App is a completely new developed barcode scanner software for easyjob. The Scanner App is technically based on HTML and App frameworks for Windows, Android and iOS.

With the easyjob Scanner App, you can easily use the scanner functionality on any of your end devices. For example, you can easily check availability, identify material that requires repair and check jobs in or out directly in the app. Everything you do in the easyjob Scanner App is processed in real-time. The bi-directional capability enables you to work freely without contact with the base station.

For normal warehouse operation, we recommend the further use of the professional terminals from Zebra and Honeywell.

Due to the completely new architecture, the following functions have been omitted:

- Offline mode

- Windows Mobile support

Error corrections for the previous Window Mobile Scanner will be continued for easyjob 6. New functions will no longer be implemented. Support will be discontinued in the next new main version.

The easyjob Scanner App can only be installed on Android and iOS devices or on Windows computers. Due to the old platform, Windows Mobile can no longer be used. There are Windows Mobile devices that can be updated on Android for a license fee. This includes the Intermec/Honeywell CN 51 device that has been recommended by protonic software for many years

For worry-free use in the warehouse, we still recommend a robust hardware version (e.g. barcode terminals from Zebra and Honeywell). A professional scanner guarantees faster processing in comparison to the camera of a handheld device.

In addition to phones, we support various barcode terminals manufactured by Zebra and Honeywell. As there are many devices, we could not test the App with all the devices.

For Android, at least version 6.0 is required.

The following list is based on the compatibility information that the manufacturers provided to us with the development tools, and therefore there is no guarantee. The models on which we can also test the functionality are marked with an X.

All cell phones with Android version 6.0 or higher.

Some scanners support the Intent action function, e.g. Honeywell CK65 or Honeywell CT60. See also Various options for barcode processing.

As of 2022/there may already be successor models

No license is required for simulation as a scanner or tablet for testing and training purposes. For use as an App (Android, iOS or Windows), a license is required for each device.

The easyjob Scanner App license is identical to the easyjob Mobile Scanner license. Both can be assigned to supported scanner end devices.

No content for this section.

To be able to use the easyjob Scanner App, the easyjob Mobile device, easyjob web access and easyjob print server services must first be activated and configured, if this has not already been done. Details can be found in Installation and Configuration manual.

All available scanners are listed in the scanner overview . You can refresh this view when, for example, you have just set up a new scanner. The serial number is the character string generated by the respective operating system in the new easyjob Scanner App. You can make additional Settings for the selected scanner. See Settings for mobile devices.

With the previous Windows Mobile scanners, the actual serial number was transmitted, but with Android and iOS that is no longer possible. If you delete the easyjob Scanner App from your end device, for example, and then reinstall it, it will be considered a new device in easyjob, because the App generates a different serial number.

Here you can manage your individual settings for each scanner. You can assign a license to the respective device and define the login after wake-up . In the general device settings you can see the device names and can adapt the location of the scanner. You can protect the configuration with a password.

If you use a Honeywell or Zebra scanner (see the list of supported barcode terminals) or a Cognex MX-1000/MX-1502 scanner, then the easyjob Scanner App automatically communicates with the respective Scanner Engine. No further settings are necessary in the easyjob Scanner App.

If this Option is activated, the easyjob Scanner App evaluates all keyboard inputs after start and as soon as the characters @ or $ are read. All subsequent inputs are seen as barcode inputs, until the barcode input is ended with the Enter command (CR LF = Carriage Return Line Feed). Your scanner must be set up properly so that it can output the scanned barcode as a keyboard entry.

•If your barcode cannot start with the @ character, it may be possible in the scanner (see the instructions for your scanner) to select a so-called prefix character. Select $ (dollar sign) as the prefix.

If you use the app on a tablet or a handheld device and also want to use a wireless scanner via Bluetooth (currently, only Zebra and Android devices are supported), please first install the corresponding app provided by Zebra. Afterwards, start installing the easyjob Scanner App and check the box for activate Zebra-Bluetooth Barcode-Scanner . The easyjob Scanner App will attempt to connect with the wireless scanner manufactured by Zebra via Bluetooth. As there are many devices, we could not test the App with all the devices.

If you scanner is able to send a so-called Intent action, then activate the Option Activate intent action .

Afterwards, perform the following actions in the App's settings window

1. Copy (copy the displayed character string to the cache)

If when checking in a job manually not all scheduled items have been loaded yet, the options Quick unload, Early Return Job, Missing Items Job, Early Return Delivery and Missing Items Delivery are available.

With quick unload, the unloaded quantity will be compared with the loaded quantity. This means that easyjob will mark all loaded items as unloaded. This function can be restricted in the user rights with the Quick Load/Quick Unload right.

In the case of an early return delivery of items, you can either create an early return job or an early return delivery (partial delivery). Select this action when partial amounts are returned early.

When creating an early return delivery job, all already unloaded items are added to a new job and removed from the existing job. The early return delivery job receives the start date from the original job and the current day as the end date. All items and devices are automatically loaded and unloaded.

Deviating from the job time frame, you can define additional appointments for partial deliveries and partial returns. You can schedule two devices of an item for delivery date X and the remaining three items for delivery date Y.

With a missing items job, all not yet unloaded items and devices will be booked in a new job and marked as unloaded. All of the unloaded items and devices will be compared with the scheduled quantity in the original job.

All of the items that are not unloaded will be transferred to an invoice with the sales price. The amounts will be corrected in the item inventory.

If expendable items were not included when creating a missing items or return delivery job, the scheduled amount must be corrected with the difference between the loaded and unloaded quantity. The difference in the amount will be corrected in the item inventory.

For the loading and unloading functions, easyjob Scanner App offers a series of useful barcode functions with Track item/device and Assign serial number.

With this function, the device's serial number is assigned based on the scanned easyjob barcode. The use of advanced functions can be activated in the easyjob program settings.

To be able to work even more efficiently with the scanner, it is possible to generate quantities for barcodes. The barcode consists of the characters @qty and then the corresponding quantity, e.g. for 100 @qty100. First scan the barcode for the quantity (e.g. 250) and then the item. In this way, the item is unloaded 250 times. You can also scan multiple barcode quantities in succession, they are then added to the scanner. Therefore 5 and 50 are 55.

or

100 and 250 are 350.

We recommend using a report and to enter the frequently used quantities on an A4 sheet and to attach it to the corresponding shelves/cases.

With the Barcode Info function, you can reach a new level with your barcodes. By using 2D barcodes (QR codes), anyone who has a smartphone can scan the barcode on one of your items and obtain useful information about your item on a WebApp website. You decide what information should be provided. You can select from technical data, item comments, rental or purchase prices, test results, contact info, footnotes (e.g. website credits), pictures of the item, manuals, etc.

To be able to use the functionality of the Barcode Info, you need a local or cloud-based easyjob environment, version 6.16.2.66 or later using Edition M, L or XL (The use of the document type function - display of item pictures, manuals, etc. is possible from version 6.17.1.5, see Providing additional item documents (e.g. manual)). To scan the barcode, you and your customers require a standard smartphone (browser-enabled), which can read and process a 2D barcode (QR code).

Go to the easyjob program settings to activate the Barcode Info function. A separate installation is not required. Add a subdomain (e.g. the name of your company ) to the URL. You can chose if you want to register Items URL info that can be accessed using the easyjob WebApp . You can use the display options already provided by protonic software, or you can create your own WebApp website. Alternatively, you can create a user-defined website and save your information there.

You can find information about the settings and use of Barcode Info about the Items URL Info of the WebApp website and about how to create a user-defined WebApp website on the following pages. Refer to chapter Creating your own Items URL info website . for information on what you must observe when you want to use a user-defined Items URL Info.

To be able to use the easyjob Barcode Info via WebApp, the easyjob Web Access service must first be activated and configured in the Service Manager Configuring easyjob services..

A functional public URL must be set up in order to be able to use the Barcode Info Service.

If required, configure the firewall for this service. See also Configure the Windows Firewall.

We have compiled support for the configuration of a non-Windows firewall here for you Configuring a non-Windows firewall.

To be able to use the Barcode Info function, you must create 2D barcodes (QR codes) for your items and devices. The report variables v.Artikel.Barcode_Info_Link and v.Artikel.Gerät.Barcode_Info_Link are available for the creation of barcode labels.

Go to the easyjob program settings to activate Barcode Info before creating the barcode. See also Installation and activation.

Please only use the barcode template provided by protonic software. It also includes the Company Identifier (UCI). With the UCI, you can clearly assign your items and devices to your company and permit the use of additional cross-system functions, such as data exchange via the digital delivery note and many other uses that will provide for you in the future.

See also Unique Company Identifier (UCI).

The easyjob Scanner App has already been for updated for scanning the new 2D barcodes (QR Codes) for the items and devices for loading and unloading. For the standard scanning processes, the scanner reads the relevant information, for example https://mycompany.protonic.io/b/ps@de177 becomes ps@de177.

In addition to our proposal for the Barcode Info displayed via the Items URL info on the WebApp website and the existing display options, you have two additional options for managing the content of your Items URL info.

If you want to make individual changes to your Items URL info for the WebApp website (e.g. to integrate your company's CSS) then contact our Support, we will be happy to prepare a proposal for you.

If you want to customize the Items URL Info for the WebApp website yourself, please observe the following information and settings.

After calling up and updating the real-time data via the JSON WebApi interface, the easyjob Web access service also makes static files available to provide HTML, CSS, JS and other files to the end user. As soon as a user wants to access the easyjob Barcode Info page, the respective files are taken by default from the following directory: {easyjob Installations path}\WebApi\Web\.

Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\protonic software\easyjob 6\WebApi\Web

The content of this folder (incl. subfolder) is provided by the easyjob Web access service via the internal and external URL set in the easyjob Server manager.

Example (related to the standard values used above) calling the URL:

http://localhost:8008/index.htm returns the content of the HTM file from the path

C:\Program Files (x86)\protonic software\easyjob 6\WebApi\Web\index.htm.

All the files necessary for the functions of the Barcode Info page are located in the path

{easyjob Installations path}\WebApi\Web\ and are called:

- barcodeinfo.htm

- css\BarcodeInfo.css

- js\misc\BarcodeInfo.js

This file can be modified and saved in the \Customizing\web\ folder.

By default, the barcodeinfo.htm file from the web access service is used to display the barcode information. See also Linking static files.

If you would like to overwrite certain files in this folder or make your own files available via the internal and external URL of the web access service, then it is not sufficient to overwrite them once in the easyjob installation directory as these files are updated during every easyjob update and the changes that are made would be lost.

In this case, the easyjob Web access service offers the option to save the changed and/or new files in a predefined folder. The path to the folder is comprised of the path to the path to the global data directory and \Customizing\web\.

You can find the path for the global data directory in the easyjob Server Manager under Global Data Directory and then the Local Director .

The Customizing folder and the web folder do not exist, therefore these folders must be created accordingly.

If you want to overwrite the files in the sub-orders, the folder structure must be copied to \Customizing\web\. After you have saved the new file, restart the easyjob Web Access Service.

When you overwrite easyjob files, this can mean that future error corrections are not used or new features cannot be used!

If you do not only want to make visual changes, but also how the data provided by the Web access service is displayed, then you must completely rewrite the barcodeinfo.htm file.

In the following examples, the space holder {webapiurl} must be replaced with the internal or external URL of the easyjob Web access service.

When forwarding to the barcodeinfo.htm page, the scanned barcode is always attached as a parameter. Example: http://{webapiurl}/barcodeinfo.htm?id=@st3334

This parameter is used to query all available information for this barcode in the easyjob Web access service. To do so, a GET request must be sent to the following URL: http://{webapiurl}/api.json/barcodeinfo/details/?id=@st3334. The authentification of the users or an access token is not required for this GET request.

In the following example, the answer to the GET request is shown on the right side in JSON format, and the left side shows how the standard barcode information page visually displays the information and which field names are used for it..

More detailed information can also be found in the js\misc\BarcodeInfo.js file.
