We have several Taotronics barcode scanners. Very simple, very effective, can be used with or without the stand, and very reasonable. Good luck with your project! -Sharon On Tue, Apr 6, 2021 at 11:45 AM Ann Bissell via Michlib-l < michlib-l@mcls.org> wrote:
The last time bar were purchased was at least 5 years ago and I need some help!
I believe we use codabar format- there are 13 numbers on labels, with a check digit at the beginning. If the image doesn't load, there is a sample in the attachment.
I have the following questions:
Are the scanners/readers plug & play or is there some software that needs to uploaded?
And why are prices so varied? $40 to $200.
Any recommendations? Where did you purchase them?
Thanks collective wisdom! Ann
