Barcode Scanning

[DCDIESELTEK]

We want to use the barcode scanning option. What do you suggest for the brand, version etc of scanner to buy? TY Sherri

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.

I am also new to the forum thing. Will others see my original post? TY Sherri

Yes other will see it here. Is there a special program needed to run it with Manager, like Bolt on?

[DCDIESELTEK]

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

Any suggestions on a brand of scanner/printer?

I have had good luck with Inateck. Available on Amazon.

So this is just for inventory, and not to scan a vehicle in?

You can most certainly scan a VIN into Manager and click decode. Mobile Manager Pro has this feature built in to the tablet software.

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.
