Sometimes barcodes recognize quickly. Other times, I can’t get them to do a 
darn thing. And sometimes, I will get the wrong identity, only to do it again 
and get the right one. It’s very hit and miss. I used to have a product that AT 
guys sold, it was a little scanner that sat on your desk and worked with a 
program that ran on my old windows XP machine. That is the best barcode scanner 
I’ve ever had.
