Hi Wascally, Just about any standard scanner should work with Koha. I have had good success with Zebex usb scanners. Generally the scanner just works 'out of the box' as long as it can read the format of your barcodes you are using. The same scanner can be used for circulation and inventory but you may prefer a wireless scanner for inventory if it makes the task more convenient. My (limited) experience with barcode phone apps is that they generally work but are often slower and more cumbersome to use. Hope that helps, Clint. Wascally Wabbit wrote:
Is there a generally recommended bar code scanner to use for check-in/check-out?
Would that same scanner work for doing inventory?
The scanner section of the documentation seems a bit sparse in describing how to configure the scanner to work, perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place?
And finally, is anyone using a mobile phone app to do barcode scanning?
Trying to get a general feel for what we should be looking for.
Thanks for any help! _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz https://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
