Review on ๐Ÿ“ฑ Wasp WWS550I Freedom Wireless Barcode Scanner: USB Base, 5 mil Resolution, 230 scan/s Scan Rate, 3.4 VDC - Shop Now! by Brian Hazzard

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The scanner is excellent, the bluetooth adapter is terrible.

I purchased this scanner for use in our school library. Initially, the installation was very difficult and it took a few hours to sync with the Bluetooth adapter. I would also like to say that the CD it came with only contained a PDF of the user manual and no "driver disk" as stated on Axis' barcode website in the box. With the help of our two IT staff, we got it working despite confusing instructions. The scanner itself works great and appears to be a quality device. Sometimes he makes strange little noises, but he does his job perfectly. However, the bluetooth adapter doesn't work and gives me one problem after another. It is not compatible with Windows 7. The adapter that came with it is made by Sabrent and from what I can gather from other adapter reviews it doesn't work with Windows 7. At first it worked about 50% of the time but after 3 weeks it stopped working and won't work with the barcode Scanner synchronized. It just says an error occurred and it should have been closed. At the moment I'm looking for another Bluetooth adapter that is compatible with the Freedom scanner.
