Scanner Requirements

 
The ATS requires a hand-held barcode scanner. An example suitable scanner is the Symbol LS4278 Cordless Handheld Scanner (approximately $560.) Many equivalent alternatives are available.
It is recommended that an industrial quality scanner be used. The example scanner, for example, can withstand drops of 5 feet. While lower cost alternatives may work, make sure they will continue to work in your environment.
While it is possible to use a scanner that is wired (rather than Bluetooth wireless), productivity will be better using the wireless input device.
