[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Wireless Scanner Recommendations

[Holly Brennan]

I'm a little confused on how you're intending to use the scanner (long distance from equipment??), but....

I use a Honeywell, model Voyager 1202g. It's small and has a bunch of rubber/grippy areas (this is one of the best features because it doesn't slide around when set down on my desk out of its holster). Thumb-style top trigger. Reads very accurately. I have a sit/stand desk so it made me happy to "cut the cord"!

Bought from posworld.com, who compiled all the code needed to configure our stranger/old barcodes (which begin with a T and a varying number of zeros that sometimes register as spaces) as well as work with our newer, numeric-only barcodes.

Just over two years of use. No issues with the 5+ in use at my library.

Hello,

One of our libraries is interested in buying a wireless scanner to use with Evergreen so they can scan barcodes on equipment that is stored physically outside of the library.

Is anyone using wireless scanners and if so do you have any recommendations?

Thanks,

Jennifer
