The thoughtful design even features a lock-out function, so curious children cannot add or delete items accidentally. Go-anywhere scanning convenience Powered by two AAA batteries, the CS 2000 works anywhere. Use it to scan the bar codes on groceries in the pantry, milk in the refrigerator, bleach in the laundry room, in newspaper ads, goods from a pre-printed list or catalog. The CS 2000 reads the information in the bar code and adds the item to an electronic shopping list stored in memory. No need to wade through layers of Web pages or click through multiple drop-down menus to place an order.
Shopping is amazingly simple.
Scan the bar codes to build the electronic shopping list, then place the CS 2000 in its cradle attached to a PC's serial port. A click of a mouse button, and the order is on its way. An electronic serial number built into the scanner authenticates the order to protect buyer and seller. Better data, better service Your time-pressed customers will find electronic shopping, even for impulse items, a real pleasure. Hand-writing and faxing orders will be unnecessary.
