It depends on what you're doing...if you are processing one item at a time (1. scan item, 2. process scanned data, 3. scan next item, etc.) then a wireless scanner using bluetooth will be pretty effective. But if you are scanning several items at once, i.e., a semi-truck load, then I would use a scanner that collects data then uploads a batch.
Either way, VFP handles this kind of processing like a true heavyweight champ. Mike -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Scanners and how to use them From: Garrett Fitzgerald <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 2/18/2012 2:33 PM I'm looking at adding remote scanning functionality to a POS system for a small store. Given people's past experience, does it make more sense to get a wireless dumb scanner that sends keystrokes to a back-room app, or a smart scanner that stores up the list of UPC codes and uploads them all at once?
