Student as well as Faculty & Staff may now check in/out by using a barcode scanner. Scanning is faster, more secure and more accurate. Generally, any barcode scanner that reads a commonly used barcode will work. Common barcodes used in schools are: "code 3 of 9", and "code 128".

The Taotronics TT-BS003 (1D) & TT-BS015 (available from School Check IN) have been extensively tested and work right out of the box without any programming required. These scanners have an Auto-Trigger, which automatically reads the barcode when an ID card is passed underneath the scanner. These scanners come complete with a stand (TT-BS003) and are USB devices.

The computer and School Check IN see the scanner as just another input device (like a keyboard). When a scanner is configured to work with School Check IN, then School Check IN waits until a bar code is detected and read.

Using a scanner will eliminate many mouse clicks and picks for the user.

Using the Scanner

Faculty & Staff

  1. Faculty person slides his/her ID card with barcode under scanner.
  2. Scanner reads barcode and passes the barcode information to School Check IN.
  3. School Check IN accepts the input.
  4. User enters password.
  5. User clicks the DONE button.

Students (Late/Tardy)

  1. Student slides his/her student ID card with barcode under scanner.
  2. Scanner reads barcode and passes the barcode information to School Check IN.
  3. School Check IN accepts the input.
  4. Student selects reason for being late (if excuse required option is selected).
  5. Student Clicks the DONE button.
  6. Student Late/Tardy Pass prints (if printing option is selected).
    The late/tardy excuse and early dismissal excuse requirement may be turned off. If this is turned off, then steps 4 and 5 are not required. The pass will print automatically after scanning is done.

Note

For a barcode reader to work, each student and/or Faculty/Staff member must have an ID card with a barcode. The number used to create the barcode must be the same as the number associated with either the student and/or faculty/staff member used in School Check IN.

For example:

Students -- If the Student ID# is what the barcode on the student ID represents, then the student ID# must be exactly the same number assigned and used in School Check IN to identify the students. Each student MUST HAVE a unique student ID#.

Faculty & Staff -- If the Faculty/Staff ID# is what the barcode on the faculty/staff ID represents, then the faculty/staff ID# must be exactly the same number assigned and used in School Check IN to identify the faculty/staff person. Each faculty/staff person MUST HAVE a unique faculty/staff ID#. Generally, faculty/staff (employees), the social security number is used as the unique identifying number.

To Install & configure a scanner for use with School Check IN.

  2. Make Notepad the active application.
