My largest customer has requested that I consider purchasing a 2d barcode scanner for the purpose of reading their orders and entering them into the UPS World Ship software. I have to pay for it if I choose to obtain one so I'd like to find a reliable unit in the $200-250 price range. I have found a couple of units at about $350 and am trying to save a few bucks.
This is for relatively light duty use---up to 1000 orders per year.
I'm looking for recommendations.
