Lynn,

If you are talking about DC under Manufacturing, any wedge scanner will work.

By wedge scanner, I mean a scanner that hooks into the keyboard connector. this acts exactly likea keyboard, however, you don't have to type. what ever field you are on, when you scan a barcode, that value is entered just like you typed it in.

We bought wedge type readers like timgolds suggested. Have to watch connections - specify USB or pin. We didn't and had to exchange. Bought fairly rugged units as our people can sometimes be hard on items (we're a forge shop)

Had to reset the unit to a slower read as the work order numbers were reading inaccurately. AML helped me understand how to reset - very easy.

I am satisfied with our product I bought: M2000-PSC QS6000 Laser P/N M2000LAS-PS0020
