Nice and easy to use, no driver needed for Windows XP nor Vista, it is Plug n Play, recommend this for all business that have a Point of Sale, but doesn't recommend if you want to use this in the warehouse, since you will need to walk with a PC or Laptop all around, there should be a Wireless version for big warehouses.

This USB Plug and Play Bar Code Scanner is a breeze to setup and use. I installed this scanner in Windows Vista. Windows installed it's own drivers, no software needed. I did have to use the CD-ROM to view the tech data and set up guide to get the unit to do a carriage return after scanning a barcode. Scanning is easy and the scan distance is very good for this low priced scanner. This unit is made by Symbol, a Motorola company. It comes with a special USB cable, and stand. I highy recommend this scanner.

Works great. I can't believe how quick it picks up barcodes. Mine came without a proper factory preset though and I had to get on HP's website to find some help in non-barcode-geek talk. It wouldn't give a enter keypress after scanning.

The following link is for how to reset it and add a 'enter' keypress after each scan.

Works even at sharp angles. Well worth the money; surprised it wasn't more! Fast and efficient. Plug and play.

We got this scanner so we would not have to manually enter numbers in our application. After pluging this unit into the usb on an XP system, it started scanning instantly into any application including word, excel, etc. I would suggest this anyone looking for a wired scanner.
