This type of general purpose bar code scanner can be set up to read a variety of bar codes. The DS 9208 can be used in handheld and hands free configurations.

 

Receipt Printers

This is also known as a Point of Sale (POS) or Transaction printer. Receipt printers typically come with one of three interface types: serial (RS-232), parallel, or USB. Springbrook Software recommends using a parallel printer-to-PC connection for V6 users and a USB connection for V7 users.

 

Validating/Endorsing Receipt Printer
