If you do not need to keep inventory, this register will work well for you. If you want to divide up your goods sold into different 'departments', then you must first create those directly with the register's keyboard and display. This is also where you would set up your 'taxable and non-taxable'. When you are ready to start selling, you simply scan the item, and it will tell you that the item is 'unknown'. You then give it a department number and an item price. If you want to give the item a name or description, you have to come back to it after the initial item scan setup is done. It is a little tedious, but no additional software or computer is really needed... If you do not need to keep inventory, this register will work well for you.

You will need a cataloging program. I did a quick search and collectorz seems to be an app that people like for scanning CDs. It has support for a barcode and from what I see it will work with the esky scanner. I may have to look into Collectorz myself as I use DVD profiler for our DVDs/BluRays and would actually like something for CDs..

You can scan without the USB cable which is not supplied with the printer. I find having the cable attached makes things a bit more efficient but not a requirement. I suggest setting the printer up without cable and testing. If you desire to use cable after this they are readily available on Amazon or most retail electronics stores.

http://www.taotronics.com/media/downloads/TT-BS003%20User%20Manual%200715.pdfI believe this is the exact same product, they just don't put the company name on the scanner for some reason...anyway, I have tried using some of the configuration barcodes and they seem to work. Hope it works for you!

Yes, but the information for pricing and description needs to be stored in a file or DB so you can pull it everyt time you scan a product. It takes an application or program to link the data to the scanning action.

No additional software is needed. The lock came with a manual with instruction of how to program it using the key pad. It is #10 on the list of manual programming functions. It will have to be the same time everyday, but that seems to be what you want anyway.

You might need a web connection to activate the software if you choose to do so over the Internet. If I recall correctly you can do this over the phone as well. Aside from having to do an online activation, this product is used offline. No web connection required

It comes with everything you need to make it work. That includes program, SD card, power/programming cable, and manual. It doesn't come with SD card slot, so you will need that to program the scanner from your computer. I would suggest you get two things to support your ease of programming. One, a micro SD card with an adapter card, and two, a micro SD card with a USB/SD adapter. One last thing. You are limited only by the size of the SD card you use, the frequencies you're interested in, and the fact that the scanner is analog only. If stay within those parameters, the scanner is awesome.

To create BAR code, you need to go to GS1. This software is for inventory control only.

It depends on the pos system you're using. For example using QuickBooks pos you can set it up without a printer as long as you have the proper connection to your register.

I believe it should scan any barcode you might have. It connects through Bluetooth if I remember correctly. It comes with a USB attachment for a wireless connection option as well. Doesn't work well for mobile devices though since unless you resolve the keyboard conflict.

You will only get the numbers under the UPC bar code. Unless you have a program that will read the information or allow you to upload information to inventory what you need.

I don't know. We are using the scanner as a POS for retail sales and for inventory. We will try it on a QR bar code and let you know soon

The software is easy to use. I'm not sure about scanning business cards or other cards.

No, you would need whats called a ALPHAnumeric Cash register like the 850ml or 710ml we carry quite a few.

The software is for printing checks -either filling in payee, amount etc. on preprinted checks, printing blank checks to be used in other software such as Quick Books, or for doing both at the same time. Likewise with deposits. The software can also manage your check register and deposit register. I use it for printing blank checks and deposits to be used by other software. Having said all that, therefore a printer is needed. It will print to most printers I believe. As for the way we use it, we print via a laser printer with a MICR cartridge to make sure the check account line is encoded the way banks require it to be encoded magnetically.

Hey Wendy, I haven't used a ScanSnap scanner but my understanding is that it is simply a scanner that comes with some OCR software. I believe you can create searchable PDFs out of it. It sounds like you're wanting to create expense reports which is one of the niche features of Neat Receipts. I have one of their older refurbished scanners and the included software will scan receipts and grab the relevant data out them (date, payee, amount, etc.) I only used it a couple times and it seemed to work okay. Eventually, the Neat Receipts software frustrated me so much that I gave up on it and just used their scanner to create PDFs. Neat Receipts may be a better option for you though, but be sure to read the reviews first. NeatReceipts Mobile Scanner and Digital Filing System
