Recommend a Wireless Barcode Reader for Eclipse.Net

[robknowles]

Hi,

As the title says really. We are looking for a Wireless Barcode Reader that our librarian can use with Eclipse.Net. Needs to work on XP and above ideally.

Also if you add where you brought it from that would be great.

Thanks,

Rob

Not a wireless barcode reader but we purchased a Metrologic MS 3780 Fusion scanner for our librarian. She likes it as it sits in the stand and she just holds the books/cards under it for them to be scanned - no buttons to press! I'd have a look at the metrologic range as MLS didn't seem to have problem programming it for us when it got sent off.

We purchased ours from Insight.

Speak to MLS support, not all barcode scanners are compatible with Eclipse and they only fully support the ones they supply, as we found out to our cost :-(

Interestingly they didn't/couldn't get a scanner that did what our librarian wanted - to sit there in a dock being able to scan items without having to press a button first, but to also be able to pick it up and use it like a normal handheld scanner. In the end we found a scanner and asked if it was compatible - they said probably but they'd need it to program it correctly and check it worked. Sent it away and a week later we had a new scanner that worked
