Web Barcode is an embedded browser that runs fullscreen without any controls. It is written to work with: -- The Linea Pro magstrip reader / barcode scanner -- KOAMTAC KDC MFI enabled barcode scanners -- Zebra mobile printers such as the QLn series It converts all swipe & scans recorded by the Linea Pro or KOAMTAC device into HTML events and provides a Javascript API for printing. For a complete api reference please visit Argosity.com For more information on the scanner hardware please visit: * http://www.ipclineapro.com/ * https://www.zebra.com/us/en/products/printers/mobile.html * https://koamtac.com By itself this app is only an simple web browser. Recording the scans and swipes as well as printing requires a specially written webpage with some simple Javascript. By default the application will load a webpage from our servers, which simply demonstrates the capabilities and has instructions on how to write your own programming instructions. The default page can be changed to anything you desire in the Settings App under Web Barcode. The screen shots are only intended to demonstrate what is possible with the browser, the application(s) shown on them are not included.
