What a time saver!!! [Posted on 2007-12-18]
Ccd Contact Barcode Scanner USB Light Rugged Design Black We purchased the Zio Tech Media Carousel and it was suggested that a bar code scanner would make inputting the DVD information quicker. Well!!! What a wonderful, reliable piece of equipment! It is plug and play, which is why I purchased the USB scanner. Plugged it in, ran it over the barcode and it's not yet hiccuped and we've input over 500 movies so far. We're using it on two different computers. Plug it in, hold it close to the bar code, and press the trigger. Easy and efficient. I highly recommend this scanner!

Installation: Just plug it in. Use: Point and shoot. [Posted on 2007-12-27]
This scanner is very easy to install and operate - it couldn't be any simpler, really. The scanner sends the data to your computer as though you'd typed the barcode in on the keyboard; thus it should work with any software that supports barcodes.

Configuring the unit for scanning modes and beeper volume/duration (it's a little LOUD out of the box) is just as simple. There are a few barcodes printed in the manual that you scan per your preferences.

To test it, just point your browser to http://www.upcdatabase.com/itemform.asp, rest the scanner on a UPC code, and click the trigger. Even if the product isn't in the database, you'll get confirmation of a good read just by looking at the number read out by the scanner. (If it's not in the database, do those good people at upcdatabase a favor and enter the product details). You could also use Amazon's search feature with the device, in the same fashion: scan the product's bar code rather than typing in its title.

I scanned in a dozen CDs sitting here at my desk about as quickly as a checkout clerk - so I stuck a pencil behind my ear, snapped my chewing gum a few times, asked myself if I found everything I was looking for and hollered "WET CLEANUP ON AISLE THREE!"

Simple, Easy, Accurate [Posted on 2008-03-29]
Have put it to use in a variety of ways for several months now. Simple to install, easy to use, always accurate in reading bar codes. What more is there to expect? What more needs to be said?

Easy to Install, Easy to Use [Posted on 2008-04-01]
As mentioned in other reviews there is no CD-ROM with this product but, instead, you can program various parameters by scanning bar codes in the manual. On my Intel iMac all of the defaults worked perfectly for me. Installation was simply plugging in the usb cable. The Mac then puts up a dialog box that it cannot recognize the keyboard you just plugged in, cancel that dialog as this is not a keyboard. Then I started Text Edit and scanned a few ISBNs (I am a book dealer) and verified that it read them perfectly. Then I started my book database (BookHound 6.0) and started a new record which in that software brings up a dialog box to enter an ISBN. Scanned a book, saw the code entered right away, and the new record came up fine. This is a wonderful tool. Don't you just love it when things work right the first time out of the box? I went a little wild then and used the programming barcodes to change the beep to a longer duration and that worked too. One of my best add-on experiences.

It really works! [Posted on 2008-04-02]
I have been wanting a bar code scanner for a long time. I had no idea how to go about choosing one I researched them and found many that required learning Perl to set up or even Penguin..(I have to learn penguin, I thought to myself??What on earth is that?) I had my little cue cat. I was never very good at getting it to work and usually made a huge dent in the book I was trying to scan When this came I was delighted! I plugged it into the computer and it made a melodic sound and i scanned a book on amazon and there it was on the screen! Finally technology has caught up! I still feel like a little kid when I use it..it is fun and a bit magical
