I was practicing with my simplistic receiving screen testing the code and I noticed that the scanners we have are set to run cartridge return after then scan the barcodes... and these seem to be the type you cannot program. Is there a way in PHP coding to not have this cartridge return run the process you have created (in my example I have to scan three barcodes, and after the first one the code runs)?
I figured there has to be a way around this... but my google searches have beared no fruit.
Thanks,
Texman

Re: How to control scanner Cartridge returns
First off, I think you mean carriage returns. Last time I checked, scanners don't have cartridges, and they definitely don't need to be returned.
But anyway. I think your answer to this lies in javascript and not PHP. I do this very thing for an inventory system I created. Though not necessarily the correct forum for javascript, here is a link for you. http://www.mediacollege.com/internet/ja ... eturn.html
