Hello,<br><br>Can anyone tell me something about bar code scanners and how they work? From what I gather, some of them work as keyboards and decode the barcode on the scanner then output a string representing the number of the barcode. Is this accurate and how compatible is this with Linux? Are there alternatives? I'm looking for something to integrate with a web app so keyboard output sounds best unless there's a better alternative.<br>
<br>Also, does anybody know where I could get my hands on one suitable for use with Linux for less than around £30?<br><br>Many thanks, I know it's a strange question =D<br><br> Chris<br>
