I have been using a variety of scanners for scanning barcodes and prefer laser scanners, they seem to work better. As far as brand can't recommend, but check Ebay stores for inexpensive new scanners. Tom Hart

I know this comes up on occasion, but does anyone have any recommendations and or experience using barcode readers to collect a series of numbers then uploading those to RB? I would like to collect a series of numbers that present in their physical sequence, i.e. FIFO, a number comes in, get scanned, followed by another. These numbers will related to other information, and they will be sorted in physical order. Cheap is good, but reliability is better. Thanks, Steve in Memphis J.
