Barcode Scanning
We want to use the barcode scanning option. What do you suggest for the brand, version etc of scanner to buy? TY Sherri
Re: Barcode Scanning
Hi Sherri,
Mitchell 1 does not have any specific recommendations in this area. A number of other forum users do use them, so perhaps they can provide feedback.

Re: Barcode Scanning
Yes other will see it here. Is there a special program needed to run it with Manager, like Bolt on?
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

Re: Barcode Scanning
Mitchell says it is already available. You just have to get the scanner and printer and it will work. I HOPE!

Re: Barcode Scanning
So this is just for inventory, and not to scan a vehicle in?

Re: Barcode Scanning
You can most certainly scan a VIN into Manager and click decode. Mobile Manager Pro has this feature built in to the tablet software.nickscarcare wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2024 10:34 amSo this is just for inventory, and not to scan a vehicle in?

Re: Barcode Scanning
I am looking for an inventory scanning gun and printer to add parts to an invoice or to inventory. According to Mitchell it can be done, just need to find working equipment.
