Cabled Scanners (For Every Day Circulation)

The Opticon CCD Scanner is a handheld, contact scanner that is designed to connect to an IBM compatible PC via the keyboard port.  The scanner has a 2.3" wide scanhead and comes with a coiled cable and a 5 year warranty.  An optional Hands-Free Stand is available.

The Metrologic 9520 is the newest scanner from Metrologic. It will be replacing the 951 series. It is a triggerless hand-held laser scanner that can also be used as a hands free scanner by utilizing the adjustable stand that is included with each scanner.  It is a keyboard interface scanner (shares the keyboard port with the keyboard).  The depth of field (distance between the scanhead and bar code) is 5” to 8”.  The scanner comes with the freestanding base as show in the picture to the left:

The Welch Allyn Image Team 3800 incorporates the best features of both laser and CCD scanners. It gives you the depth of field of a laser scanner and the durability of a CCD scanner. It carries a five year warranty.

Receipt Printers

Epson TMU200

The TM-U200 is an ideal low cost printer for library applications. The modular user-friendly design, graphics capability, and 3.5 lines per second print speed offer reliable high performance in a compact, lightweight design. Other features include a paper end detector that automatically alerts the user when the printer is out of paper. This printer is available with either a Parallel, Serial (RS232) or USB interface.

Cordless Scanners (For Inventory)

Percon PT2000

The Percon PT2000 is a Portable Data (Batch) Collector for use in inventory applications.  The unit stores scanned data until you are ready to download.  Because it's not a radio frequency device, there are no distance limitations with this unit.   The input device (bar code scanner) is sold separately.  The CCD Scanner is a contact scanner that will connect to the top of the PT2000 with a cable.  The PSC 6000 Laser Scanner is a gun-style scanner with a trigger that connects to the top of the PT2000 with a cable as well.  The TopGun Laser Scanner (pictured with PT2000 to the left) integrates into the PT2000 to make it a "one-handed" unit.  The one handed unit is convenient for doing inventory but cannot be used for daily circulation.  The cabled scanners however can be used for daily circulation with the purchase of a wedge or decoder box.

Symbol P370 Cordless Scanner

The Symbol P370 is a cordless scanner with keypad and display screen.  The scanner reads the bar code and sends it back to the base (which is attached to your PC via the keyboard port).  The base sends a signal back to the laser telling it that the data was received.  The scanner beeps to let you know the base has received the data.   The base sends the data through your keyboard port and into your software at the current cursor location.   The P370 has a maximum range of 50 feet from the base unit.  This means that you might get up to 50' range - but are not guaranteed the full 50'.
