[cisco-voip] Barcode Scanners for MAC Imports for BAT

[Matthew Ballard]

I haven¹t used barcode scanners for BAT, but I do have some experience with
barcode scanners.

A lot (I think most) decent barcode scanners can be re-programmed as far as
any additional symbols/characters/whatnot they transmit at the end of the
barcode, and even usually allow for complete re-writing of parts of the
barcode.  It¹s usually just a matter of finding the right barcodes to scan
in the manual to adjust those settings.

Laser ones are more expensive and have moving parts, but are generally
faster and more reliable at barcode scanning.

Most barcode scanners come in multiples models, at least one of which will
act as a keyboard on the computer.
