- A Bar Code reader normally plugs in series with the keyboard to the PC.
- It acts as a ghost typist and Paradox doesn't have the slightest idea a
- bar code reader is in use. The numbers and letters that appear underneath
- the bar code are xmitted as if they were typed by hand.
-
- Look in the back of Byte or PC Magazine for Bar Code readers and call for
- free info. The hardware manufacturer will describe the interface fully
- and usually supplies bar code printing software for the PC. Real easy to use.
