Thanks for the information Alan! You are correct! Our vendor told us they were incompatible, but with your help we have found out otherwise. Thanks Much!

Here's a couple of links: one to some ISBT info and another to an online copy of the WA 3800 manual which you can download and use to try to reprogram your scanners. http://iccbba.org/about_bloodcomponentseng.html http://www.posguys.com/download/3800lr.pdf Hope this helps, Alan Miller, RPh >>> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/28/2006 17:12 >>> Is anyone using scanners for BMV that are also ISBT 128 compatible? We are currently using the Welsh Allyn 3800's, but they can't read ISBT 128 bar codes, and we are trying to position for the upcoming blood bank changes from Codabar to ISBT 128. If anyone has any recommendations on a good scanner which would work well for both applications, I would appreciate it.
