Jenny, 

 

While we have not actually used either of these models, after looking at the
specs, I think they would both be great choices.  As we continue to develop
the barcode inventory module that will be part of PastPerfect, I think you
can expect great things from the model you choose.  Looks like one is corded
and the other has the option of wireless.  Let me know which one you try and
if you have trouble getting your new scanner to work.  We are happy to help
figure it out.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Barcode scanners

 

Hi all, I hope to get some recommendations on barcode scanners.  When we
switched to PastPerfect we got the barcode module so I am all set up
software wise but don't have the scanner part of the hardware.  I have done
some searching and have narrowed my choices down to two possibilities and
hope that someone might be able to recommend one over the other or perhaps
strongly recommend something else completely.  I am looking at the Motorola
LS2208 scanner or the Datalogic QuickScan both of which laser scanners which
is the style I want.  From what I have read laser scanners are the more
reliable and can read at a distance which I need.

 

Thanks in advance for the help and feel free to contact me off list if you
like
