[LM_NET] Hit: circulation Scanners

[Donna Guild <donnaguild@CHARTER.NET>]

Hi Everyone,

Last week I sent the following query:  Have any of you purchased a  
generic scanner that seamlessly replaces the Follett 3800? If so,  
what?, where?, and how much?

Below are the responses I received. I hope they're helpful.

Our district purchased Imageteam 3800 scanners #119231 (these are USB
connected scanners but they also carry non-usb connected versions).
These cost $249 each.   From SystemID   www.systemid.com

They've worked like a charm for 2 years so far  : )

If you get them, simply scan the barcode in the booklet that says  "Add
CR Suffix, All Symbologies" once and that sets them to automatically go
to the next line (as if you were hitting the ENTER key).

That's all we've had to do and they work with Follett perfectly.

We bought several from Barcode Discount Warehouse. I don't remember the
price, but it somewhere around $300.00 - $350.00. Call their number  
and ask
for your rep. They will get you a price quote. We have not had any
problems...and customer service is great. I accidentally re-set the  
scanner
to factory settings and they emailed me barcodes to program it back for
Follett info.

The scanner come with a 5 year warranty without needing to purchase an
extended warranty!

from my own research:

we sell the HHP3800 which is the same model you have...
$224 per unit and if you want to add a stand $37...plus shipping
it comes with a 5-year warranty
