Bar Code Setup for Inventory, Packages, and Services.

 

SunEase supports most bar code readers. FST Company sells both a CCD and a Laser model.

The main difference between the two models is: CCD models have to be held within 1" of the bar code; and Laser models can be held several inches away. Also Laser models typically come with a stand for hands free operation.

The easiest type to install share the keyboard port on your computer--so you just plug it in and its ready to go.
