[Michlib-l] Barcode scanners/readers

[Ann Bissell]

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
