Frequently questions: If I scan a product barcode , will it include the name and price in the file automatically ?

The scanner works like a keyboard , it does not interpret what the barcode us , it just “types” out a string of alphabet numeric characters that the barcode represents .

It is up to the database software you are using to interpret what the string of character mean .

Once you acquire the barcodes , you have to correlated them to something more meaningful by either purchasing a software service which will interpret the barcode and relate it to a product , or you can use your own inventory system to assign the barcodes to specific products .

After creating the relationship between your barcode and the corresponded information , when you enter the barcode into the software by scanning , your software will look up the barcode and then related the information of your product .
