Palm Barcode Scanner – An Introduction

There are various criteria on which to classify the wide variety of barcode scanners that are available in the market. One of these criteria is on the basis of the device to which the barcode scanner connects to. A Palm barcode scanner is of two types.

One is a barcode scanner that connects to a personal digital assistant (PDA) on which the Palm operating system (OS) has been installed. These Palm PDAs are also known as Palm Pilots. The other is a Palm OS equipped PDA in which a built-in barcode scanner is integrated. The latter is also sometimes known as a Palm OS wireless barcode scanner.

Plug-N-Scan has a series of palm-sized barcode scanners that are quite convenient to use.
