UK-based barcoding hardware and software developer BarcodeReaders.com has announced the immediate availability of their new Phoenix II barcode reader, a USB-based plug-and-play device that’s compatible with Mac OS X and Mac OS 7-9.2. It comes with Peninsula QuickTrack Start V.2, an application that lets you manage your barcodes.
The Phoenix II can read all standard barcode types, including Code 128, Code 39, EAN 13, UPC, and LAETUS and it allows you to scan the information directly into a variety of applications, including FileMaker. It’s also programmable, allowing you to, for example, designate a custom end-of-scan character. The price is US$179, and it’s shipping now.
