RE: Hand held Barcode scanner - For Picking

["hrishikesh kotwal" <hdkotwal@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

   Hi Greg:

    

   I have 2 questions on your implementation of hand-held and vehicle mounted
   barcode scanners screen:

   1. Did you design the screen to be 8 x 40 as display size?

   2. Do you have any issues with visibility of information?

   Thanks so much for your time.

   Regards,
