<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Wondering if anyone has purchased a barcode scanner from ULINE that works on the different barcodes we see in libraries! I just want the assurance or confirmation that they do/don’t work the way I want. I do not know what makes a scanner
do all of the things to look in the specs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anyways, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am looking for 1D barcode scanners that can handle ISBN and T (or other letters) barcodes and everything else we might encounter. Currently, we have some that can read the full ISBN number and others that can handle the T barcode type
that we and other libraries have. Only one out of the five in our building does both! I already have a cart of items with ULINE, so that is preferred currently but I am open to others too.<o:p></o:p></p>
