The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Hand held Barcode scanner that the beam says on without trigger pull?

Asked by marms676 in Peripherals, Miscellaneous Hardware

Tags: barcode, Barcode Scanner, handheld

I am looking for a particular type of barcode scanner, but I do not know enough about them to know what this feature is called.

Currently we generally use Symbol LS400i scanners for a process we have.
http://www.barcode-manufacturer.com/barcode_scanner/metrologic_psc_welchallyn/symbol_ls4000i.html

This process involves thousands of repetitive scans for a user to do in one sitting at a workstation. We are attempting to speed up this process a bit. Currently the scanners we use require them to pull the trigger (the light turns on), they focus in on the barcode, it scans and then the light turns off. They then need to grab the next barcoded label and do it again.

My idea is to hang the scanner on a stand pointed down at the table positioned at the perfect focus point. Then hands free from the scanner they pass the label in front of the beam, it registers the scan, and they do it again. Again, the problem is the beam on our scanners does not stay on after it registers a scan.

Our company did own a hand scanner that did do this. Once it detected a label it registers the scan and the beam came back on automatically, but we can't find it. Does any one know of a scanner model that does this. Also, price is a consideration. We don't want to spend over $300 (and would like to go used.)

Thanks
