Username and password to login as a barcode
« on: January 01, 2013, 05:22:16 PM »
Hi Ronald

Happy New Year

I Can not find the way, how to encode the TAB between
username and password in to the barcode world.

I am using the Free 3 of 9 Extended font

Something like *ABC TAB 123*

Thanks

You are trying to create a bar-code that has the user-name - tab - password on a card?  That bar-code format doesn't include a tab character, only numbers.  There might be other formats that include all the characters and numbers.  You can also do that with a mini card swipe/reader.  Those cards can be encoded with all the characters.

Never mind, I found a way with using barcode system to do that.

Here is how I done it:

USER~009PASSWORD   (With No spaces)
example: Arya~0098875 (Arya being User ID and 8875 is Password)

~009 is the code for tab (thats zeros in the code)

I used the following website to create the barcode.
http://www.bcgen.com/linear-barcode-creator.html
Print it and you are set to go.

It will type: Arya and tab and type 8875 and Enter


I had to modify the user ID and Password so I can also use to login with the same barcode
To do that you have to make sure the user ID and password are the same:

8878~0098875
or Arya~009Arya

This way you can use the same Barcode to Login as you would login
and use it to Clock in and Out as well, where is the first way only
lets you use it as Clock in and Out only as User name and Password are different.

Please let me know if there is a better way or anybody has found a better way.

I forgot to mention:  :D :D
It means you have to change each employees login and password to be same
