Re: Portable barcode readers

[Ruth Helwig <ruth.m.helwig@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We have 3 of the Percon 321 models.  They are easy to use and have been working
well.  We are using them primarily for inventory and they are getting heavy use.
The major complaint is that the batteries need to be replaced often.  I'm not
sure whether this has to do with the heavy use we are making of the scanners, the
quality of the batteries that we get through our supply system, or that the
scanners just use a lot of energy.
