Tao Tronics Barcode Scanner

At first, using the barcode scanner was hard to set up and get it to the functions that were right for me. The directions were hard to understand, but after we figured out the setup it was a great product.  I use it for personal use on my computer with excel and it does a great job reading the barcodes right away. Never had a single problem with it after I got it all set up. I would definitely give this a 5 star rating!
