<BR>
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. It’s usually just a matter of finding the right barcodes to scan in the manual to adjust those settings.<BR>
<BR>
Laser ones are more expensive and have moving parts, but are generally faster and more reliable at barcode scanning.<BR>
<BR>
Most barcode scanners come in multiples models, at least one of which will act as a keyboard on the computer.<BR>

<BR>
Laser is the thinnest line, and the longest read length (IE 2 or 3 feet away vs inches)<BR>
<BR>
Mine is a generic brand one, it auto adds an enter at the end. This works great for Inventory, but sucks the big one for BAT, since it can't read the enter (I usually end up scanning to Notepad, then pasting from there)<BR>
<BR>
A buddy of mine's is a symbol, and it doesn't add the enter, so it works great for the BAT<BR>

We've used the scanners from Wasp. No issues, and since it acts like a USB HID keyboard, it's usable in any program on the Windows side.<BR>
