Java Question Need help creating library

[Johan Schoeman]

I have a 4.2. can 6.0 not be compatible with an earlier ver?

I have no idea - that only the manufacturer can tell us. Have asked them for sample code for both 4.2 and 6.0

Hi Johan,
I have tested both the text and bitmap printing and it works HOWEVER the prints are trimmed at the bottom thereby cutting out important info, e.g a number on the bottom of the Barcode image is trimmed out. I have tried adjusting text with the RichString without success. It would be great if we can have the ability to adjust the FONT-SIZE and ALIGNMENT as they have done in the examples attached.
Once again, thanks for the great work.

Dear Johan
Any Help on my scanning wrapping function ?

Dear Johan
Any Help on my scanning wrapping function ?

I have ordered a PDA3505 unit - it is on its way. Will try and sort it out once I have received it.

 

[Johan Schoeman]

As far as what I understand the "laser scanner" only scans 1D barcodes. Seems like you will have to use the camera to scan 2D barcodes. Can you confirm that this is indeed the case?

This is not the case. The "laser scanner" is for 1D and 2D at the same time.

OK - will look into it once I have received my unit. Working "blind" on this without a unit is a bit difficult.

OK let me send you the sdk link i have got from the manufacturer in case

I have received my unit. They have sent me a PDA3506 with Marshmallow. And the SDK is completely different to that of the PDA3505....And I mean - completely different. No compatibility with the PDA3505 whatsoever. I have asked them about it and it is indeed the case....

Need your advise:
> To give up the PDA3505 and find a new one. in this case i have just need a basic PDA that can only handle scanning.
> upgrade my PDA3505 android version to Marshmallow.

I don't think that option 2 is viable. I think there is also a hardware change between 3505 and 3506. But you can perhaps take it up with them and see what they say about an upgrade to Marshmellow and if the 3506 SDK will then work on the upgraded 3505.

mr Johan Schoeman, can you change the printer port to

handler.setParameters("/dev/ttyS2", 115200);

my pda has this printer port.

[DonManfred]

mr Johan Schoeman, can you change the printer port to

you should create a NEW THREAD in the quewstionsforum about your issie.

Asking in THIS thread is the WRONG way!

You should NEVER post to existing threads to post a question

 

[Johan Schoeman]

mr Johan Schoeman, can you change the printer port to

handler.setParameters("/dev/ttyS2", 115200);

Victor

Try with the attached lib files and B4A project. I have allowed for the port and baud rate to be set from within the B4A code

    prt.Initialize("")
    
    prt.Device = "/dev/ttyMT1"
    prt.BaudRate = 115200

 

[Johan Schoeman]

Thank you Johan.
I tested it on my device and it prints perfectly.

Danie, do you still have your PDA3505 device from ZKC?
