Reading barcodes is a breeze with the new ProTracer CCD bar code scanner. The ProTracer is rugged, very cost-effective and really is a "plug and play" device. Simply connect via USB and you're ready to read bar codes. To read a code, you just point and click. The barcode data is sent to the computer just like you typed it at the keyboard, but a hundred times faster and a thousand times more accurate! You don't need special software to use the ProTracer. It will send data to any application that accepts text entry.
