We selected the Hand Help Products ImageTeam 4800 OCR scanner because it can be
used with a PS/2 keyboard wedge as well as with a USB interface. In addition this
scanner can read supports OCR text as well as conventional bar codes for use in a
wide range of applications. The original Synergy Controller has a PS/2 keyboard
interface and a USB interface. The new Synergy Micro Controller only has a USB
interface.
