Re: Hand held Barcode scanner - For Picking

["Mike Bennett" <mbennett@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We use the 2280 and the new 802.11b MX3 from LXE.
We tried a Symbol 1725 palm based device but they are too slow and the
screen is very small.
I agree with Greg, the size of the screen is important to the ease of use.
All run 5250 but over all we still like the LXE MX3.
