The Keychain Barcode Scanner is a portable pocket-sized device that offers you an alternative method to order items on the Web. It scans product bar codes and/or quantities directly from a catalog, product list or shelf label then uploads the scanned items to your Order simply by connecting the device to the computer using a Serial or USB Cable.
