RE: Barcode Scanner Purchase

["James, Daniel" <daniel.james@xxxxxxx>]

I would be interested in a couple of these, but only if there is any easy
way of getting them to work with a PC..

Most barcode readers don't need any special software, as they connect
between the keyboard and the pc, the cheapest of these that I have found in
the UK are here:

it doesn't recognise one, you are then left to trace which book it didn't
recognise!! - so performing these in small batches seems to be the answer.

Paul,

If you read previous messages there are a number of possible software
solutions, I supsect that most people will roll their own solution.

One thing to note is that the RS232 is TTL level, so a convertor will be
required, to get true RS232, however this is fairly simple to do, and
I'm already looking at a solution.
