5. Query URL

For every barcode scan, the SK must send a query URL with the requested

barcode information to the web-server.

The Web-Price-Checker uses tag-variables in the URL for this, like for example:

http://192.137.81.60/auth/tbl_products/scan/{@BARCODE}/{@SKTYPE}

When scanning an EAN13 barcode 5029053021454 on a SK-50, the URL

request with variables, {@SKTYPE} and {@BARCODE} will be reformatted and

send to the web server as:

http://192.137.81.60/auth/tbl_products/scan/5029053021454/SG15

Note that the sequence of the variables {@BARCODE} and {@SKTYPE} in the

specified URL, is one to one related with the search path on the web server.

6. Allow URL barcodes

This feature is useful for scanning 2D-barcodes on products or leaflets with

2D-barcodes that represent a URL referring directly to a site on the internet or

intranet. When this feature is ON and your SG-15

Colour

is equipped with a

2D-scanengine, then scanning the QR-code here below will show the following

response on the display:

QR-code with URL

http://www.scantech-id.com/en/products/list.php?pin=3aa3cded3eacb975929df79009da68fd&type=s

Notes:

1. This requires the following settings:

i. Allow URL barcodes = ON

ii. 2D barcodes = ON

iii. The SK is equipped with 2D scan-engine.

2. DNS must be activated on SK

(i.e. DHCP service is responsible for providing a name server).
