Microsoft POS Systems

I haven’t done a content-heavy post in quite a while, so I figured now’s as good a time as any to get one going. I’m also hitting terrible writer’s block on another product rollout, so I’m hoping this clears up some space for new words to fall out of my brain and onto the screen.

We’ve got a Microsoft POS Complete System up on the site, and I think it’s pretty special. Mostly because I had to put it all together. This one’s a little different from the other systems, since we had to maintain compatibility with Microsoft POS. Thankfully, that just means the scanner is a Metrologic (I don’t want to call it Honeywell) Voyager, which totally looks like an alien.

The rest of the parts are POS-X, so setup is pretty straightforward, just like for the other systems. I also felt that if it differed too wildly from the other systems, the system builders would throw stuff at me for making too much extra work.

So if you’re looking for Microsoft POS and the requisite hardware to get it going, we have you covered.

Metrologic Voyager Review

Look at this, we’re starting to get a decent flow on cranking out this videos. This time it’s a trifecta again, involving the Metrologic Voyager, VoyagerPDF, and VoyagerBT.

For the unitiated, these scanners are retail-oriented, with a 10-12″ maximum scan range. The VoyagerPDF can scan PDF417 barcodes, which are 2-dimensional. You do have to move the scanner across the barocde to get it to read, but it gives off geiger counter noises to let you know it’s reading. The VoyagerBT is the BlueTooth cordless model and has a 120 foot radio range.
