 NUSCAN 1000U - USB barcode scanner is great! January 10, 2007

ASIN:B000GGTTC8, Adesso Contact CCD Barcode Scanner, Model NUSCAN 1000U. This is the USB model.
First, I should point out that this product is listed (on Amazon) as a CD-ROM but it is not a CD-ROM nor does it contain a CD-ROM.
The package comes with a scanner and a booklet. The scanner has a USB cable and no other cable options. The booklet contains some barcodes that let you adjust the scanner settings such as scan mode (trigger, auto, toggle) and audio feedback (tone, duration). The booklet is also available as PDF from the Adesso website. The booklet is not needed for normal operation.
Installation on WinXP involved plugging the scanner into the USB port, done. Once plugged in, it chimed the la cucaracha tune.
Usage was just as easy, point and shoot. The scanner button is rubbery yet has a nice click feel so it is very easy to use. The orientation (non-pistol style) was better than expected and is very easy to hold and scan items over and over. I was (wrongly) expecting to be able to hold the scanner inches away from the barcode but this type of scanner requires you to practically touch the product with the scanner for a successful scan. With a successful scan, the barcode numbers are entered into your computer just as-if you had typed them.

This inexpensive contact scanner does everything I need it to do, including reading ISBN barcodes. For my purposes, a scanner that reads from greater distances would be a hindrance. I haven't had it long, but so far it performs great: good value for the money.
Best scanner for the money! May 12, 2007

I am very happy with my scanner...it scans anything! Including ISBN's which is helpful in my bookselling business and it also integrates with Booktrakker for data entry which prevents typos. I love it. Best thing I have ever bought for my business.

Absolute junk.
Bought one, never worked at all out of the box. Never once transmitted a code.
Played with all the settings, etc, etc, no go.
Called Adesso. Here's the fun part. They offer a 1-800 number, yet no one answers it or returns messages. If you want service, you have to call the direct phone number. Nice trick.
So, they figure it's defective, send me a new one. First, that shipment was slow. Second, despite promising the wouldn't, they charged my card for it.
Third, the new unit didn't work either.
Now I get to call them, again on my own dime, and try to send 2 of these useless items back.
Stay away. Useless item, useless service.
 works for me September 30, 2007
