The QuickReader simply plugs in between the keyboard and
display. The input data is decoded and transmitted to the display as if it were
keyed. The keyboard remains active at all times.
Simple programming via menus allows the user to customize the
unit to match the keyboard input required by their present software. The user
can verify the input data to inhibit invalid data, as well as format the data to
match screen input. The QuickReader is designed to eliminate as much as possible
the manual entry of data.
