The CM500M is a very easy to use portable barcode data collector that is also equally usable as an ordinary barcode scanner.
While many data collectors on the market need software to be installed on the PC to operate, the CM500M simply installs itself as a USB HID, (ie driverless install), device. Then when plugged in it operates as a standard scanner would, but when unplugged from the PC any barcodes scanned are stored in its memory.
When reconnected to the PC simply press the upload button and all the stored barcodes are output to the screen. Plugging it back into the PC aslo recharges the CM500's lithium lon battery. Comes in either laser or CCD, scan rate is 100 scans per second. Can hold up to 200 barcodes with a time and date stamp.
