Barcode Scanners


I had always thought of barcodes as being limited to large supermarkets and superstores, but the technology for producing and reading barcodes is becoming readily accessible for all types of businesses.

I recently discovered that Avery, the company that make label sheets for your PC printer, have a free printing program that can create labels with barcodes. Barcode scanners are now widely available as stand-alone instruments and also as 'apps' for your smartphone, there are even bluetooth barcode scanners available for those that work whilst on the move.

Barcodes are a quick and easy way to catalogue your stock, record stock movements and keep your records up to date, whether you are a small shop, an online trader or a major retailer.
