2 out of 5 stars Poor instructions - not really Mac compatible   January 15, 2010
Don Winckler (Sioux Falls, SD United States)

I ordered this to use to scan bar codes on my Mac.

The Mac recognized it immediately as a keyboard and I started using it. Point it at a bar code and pull the trigger. Unfortunately, it wants to add a zero to the beginning of each bar code and seems to add an "enter" key at the end. So, each time I pull the trigger, I get an extra zero and I have to go back and correct it. Not fun.

The instructions are almost non-existent. There is no text that tells you what you are doing. Just a bunch of bar codes to scan - each with a different effect on the operation of the scanner. Unfortunately, the Mac doesn't seem to respond to these instructions and there is no explanation anywhere of what each instruction might do or change. I searched the internet for information about this scanner and failed to find anything of value. If you buy this scanner, you should probably have more than a basic knowledge of the workings of a scanner.

If you have a Mac - look somewhere else. You already bought the best computer on the market. Don't go cheap on your bar code scanner.



5 out of 5 stars Great product (even better for the price)   October 2, 2009

I needed a scanner that would scan UPC codes and UPS/USPS mailing barcodes. This scanner works perfectly. Microsoft Windows recognized the scanner immediately. You need to configure the scanner (by scanning parts of teh supplied manual) before the scanner works. I accidentially thought mine was defective at first. This thing works like a charm.


2 out of 5 stars Works but not well   April 28, 2009

It does work but not in some conditions, for example it dosn't work in high light conditions like outside. But on the flip side it is the cheapest barcode scanner and in does work 80 % of the time.


5 out of 5 stars A good inexpensive no-frills barcode scanner   October 28, 2008

This is a pretty standard unit probably OEMed in a bunch of different brand names.

The scanner is a CCD scanner (as opposed to wand or laser) which means you have to hold the scanner close to the code to scan - either next to it or no more than an inch or so away. (FYI: laser scanners are the ones you can 'shoot' at codes at a distance, wands are ones you need to drag across the code (like CueCat))

It uses a standard "keyboard wedge", in that what you scan gets typed in as if it were from a keyboard. Has a trigger activation on the inner throat, though, in the manual there are many settings - including one to set it into a repeating pulse scan or continuous.

Supports many popular code symbologies: EAN-13, Code 3of9 (Code39), EAN-8, Code 39 with c/d, UPC-A, EAN-128, UPC-E, Code128, ISBN, Interleaved 2 of 5. - though it also states codeabar and MSI code, but those samples did not register on the scanner.

Manual includes several options configuration settings (you scan special barcodes in the book)

USB cable is nice, somewhat heavy, about 7-8' in length with the USB adapter circuit in a bubble near the USB connector end.

Scan completion time is very nice for the cost, well under a second with an audible confirmation beep.

Unless you are really high usage, have barcodes wider than 3.5" or need laser range and accuracy, you will find this more than adequate. And the price (about $47 when I got it) is one of the best I've seen - I've seen similar at $80 or more.



4 out of 5 stars I like it. Just as advertised.   January 24, 2008

Works well, just as listed on the product page.

It's not as good as a laser bar code scanner, but anyone who knows a little about scanners will understand the limitations of this scanner.

Personally, I read the description and decided that the product's price was right and it met my needs. What surprised me was that the construction of the scanner was very sturdy for how cheap it was. The electronic components seem very simple (which means less chance of hardware failure) yet work very well. Installation was literally plug and play. Configuration is done by scanning bar codes in the included booklet (for things like making the scanner scan all the time or just when the trigger is pulled, escape characters, beep on successful scan, etc).

This probably isn't good to be used as a grocery store checkout scanner, but is perfect and cost effective for any kind of inventory solution, electronic time clock, package tracking, etc.
