RE: AS/400 Wireless Barcode Scanner

[Dennis Strobel <Dennis.Strobel@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

At my former company, we used Symbol LRT3800 RF scanners for this same
thing.  The LRT3800 operated in the 900Mhz Spread Spectrum bandwidth.
Symbol also had a later series that operated at 2.4Mhz.  I know that
Intermec and LXE also offer the 5250 emulation with their products.  We
bought our equipment through Peak Technologies, a division of Moore Business
Forms.  Peak offers sales and service for barcode hardware from a number of
different suppliers.  If you'd like, I can put you in touch with our Peak
Account representative.

Best of Luck.

Subject: AS/400 Wireless Barcode Scanner


Hi,

Does anybody know of a product that takes the place of the IBM 2482 bar code
scanner for the AS/400?  We are looking for all the components: the scanner,
the network card for the AS/400, the antenna, etc.

For those not familiar with this product.  This is a real time scanner for
the AS/400 that emulates a 5250 terminal.  Thus any information that you
enter is immediately, without any other process, available to all the  other
AS/400 users.  It is wireless, uses a battery, can accept a variety of bar
code symbologies.  Since it emulates a 5250, you can use an RPG program to
do the data collection.

Thanks,

Mindaugas Bielskus
