Successfully scanned TNMP barcode?

We have discovered that there are several different kinds of scanner heads that can be bought with an mc 55. What we call 1d (produce a single red line of laser light) an 2d (produce a "+" and larger scanning pattern.) We have discovered that the 1d scanners will not read Mobile devices however the 2d scanners will read Mobile devices. Most scanners sold through the Tessitura Network seem to be the 2d scanners. However, if you went on your own and did not know of this distinction and tried to keep the prices lower you might have ended up with 1d scanners. Based on our research if this is your case you may find that you can't upgrade the MC55s from 1d to 2d scanner heads.

Hope that may help.

I can't speak directly to TNMP; but a phone barcode should scan just fine with the MC55; we do it all the time with our normal PAHT.

The only hiccup with this is that the brightness of the screen sometimes needs to turned up (and if it's programmed right an app should do this automatically when on a barcode screen) which is why we haven't gone full scale with a phone option.

I've actually gotten pretty good at laser-ing the auto brightness sensors on quite a few phones to avoid even asking the patrons in these situations.

TL;DR:

Barcodes scan on phones as long as the brightness is up, haven't used TNMP, though.

I was wondering if anyone had successfully scanned a TNMP barcode off the phone with a Mc55?
