Code CR8000
SDG Systems continues to provide small and mid-sized business with a way to easily integrate barcode scanning into their solutions.
Harmony, PA (PRWEB) July 01, 2015
SDG Systems, a leader in system and application software integration for Android on enterprise platforms, recently enhanced the EPX-Barcode (EPX-B) software in its Enterprise Platform eXtension Framework (EPX Framework™) software solution for Android. SDG has created EPX-B hardware drivers to support USB-based Code Reader™ scanners from Code Corporation. From a single SDK, using a Java application programming interface (API) for Android, EPX-B now supports Code, Symbol, Honeywell and Intermec hardware-decoded scan engines. EPX-B is also capable of using Android’s integrated system camera to decode barcodes using libraries originally developed by the ZXing project.
“SDG Systems continues to ensure a broad selection of applications and hardware are supported with our EPX Framework,” said Todd Blumer, President of SDG Systems. “In supporting the Poynt mobile terminal and cost-effective scanners from Code Corporation, we continue to provide small and mid-sized business with a way to easily integrate barcode scanning into their POS, medical, hospitality or other Android-based solutions.”
SDG Systems has tested the Code Reader driver on the following OEM products from Code Corporation:
Code Reader CR1000
Code Reader CR8000 Scan Engine
Other Code Readers that support USB native two-way communication are expected to work unmodified with the driver, and may be tested upon request. The Code Reader driver is currently in public beta and may be purchased at a beta discount price of $0.99. Access to the beta is controlled through SDG’s EPX-Barcode Scanner Beta Google+ Group.
Scanners may be connected to and controlled from the USB port of the Poynt payment terminal. Developers can integrate with the Poynt terminal using a licensed driver and free SDK from SDG Systems. For un-tethered convenience, support for Bluetooth-connected Code Scanners, like the CR2300, is planned. The driver is expected to support full bi-directional communication.
OEMs interested in integrating EPX-B into their Android hardware platforms should contact SDG Systems for licensing information. ISVs wanting to support EPX-B APIs may download the free Software Developer Kit (SDK) from SDG Systems’ website. Support for additional barcode scanners is planned. USB-based OEM scanners that use scan engines from EPX-B-supported vendors (Code and Symbol) should work without modification when properly configured.
