What is the difference between a Palm™ based bar code reader and an ordinary bar code reader?

Unbeatable Palm™ convenience and functionality. The basic features of calendaring, contact management, Email, and Internet access are available on each Palm™ based bar code reader.

Mail, Address, Date Book, Memo Pad as you'd find on any Palm™. And all of this functionality for less than a tenth of what you could end up spending on an ordinary bar code reader.

In addition, there are literally hundreds of free applications and low-cost "shareware" already available for the Palm™ platform. It is the perfect pocket companion for people who have mobile data needs on the go. It is the best solution for your mobile inspection needs, but it also opens up a whole new world of functionality unavailable in an ordinary bar code reader.

What type of bar codes will the scanning type units read?

BRInspector™ : Code 3 of 9 by default. The scanner can be setup to read virtually any kind of bar code, even pre-existing ones from manufacturers and other bar code programs.

Scan Series: Only bar codes issued and registered by BuildingReports may be used with any of the scan series of applications. Each bar code number is unique and associated with a particular device within a particular building. This is not possible with manufacturer bar codes.

With our ScanPartner™ Group Packages, bar codes are included in the package.
