Conducting An Inventory using your new Worth Data Scanner
The Worth DataTriCoder/Scanner is an extremely versatile bar code reader. It functions as both a portable
data collection device, to be used for Inventory, as well as a fixed on-line bar code reader that can be used for
Circulation. Although the TriCoder can perform complex data collection functions, it's true value is in its
simplicity. With very little instruction, a user can collect data using one of the built-in programs, upload it and
process the data.
