NEW BAR CODE WAND FEATURING EXCLUSIVE FIVE-YEAR WARRANTY INTRODUCED BY
PERCON, INC.

March 15, 1993 -- EUGENE, OR -- A new model of bar code wand, featuring an
exclusive five-year warranty, is being offered by Percon, Inc., a
manufacturer of keyless data collection hardware and software distributed
worldwide under the Percon trade name.

"Our exclusive five-year warranty guarantees the performance of these
wands," says Doug Wilson, Director of Sales and Marketing. "This exclusive
warranty complements our existing five year warranty on all Percon decoder
products, providing a complete solution to our customers."

Percon's new wand has a six (6) mil resolution which permits accurate
scanning of high-density bar code labels. Eight (8) mil and ten (10) mil
resolution models, suitable for scanning dot matrix labels, are also
available. Its steel case and sealed sapphire tip provide protection from
contamination, while high ambient light rejection enables this wand to
operate in direct sunlight. Excellent first-try read rates are available
even at large tilt angles and through laminates.

The unit will also read bar codes printed on thermal paper, in both
dye-based and carbon-based inks, and in certain colors. Its rugged
construction makes this wand suitable for numerous light industrial,
commercial and office applications within an operating temperature of -20
to +50 degrees C.

"This new wand adds to our complete line of bar code input devices
including CCDs, handheld lasers, magnetic stripe readers, and ID badge
scanners," adds Wilson. "Not only are these wands lightweight and
easy-to-use, they provide a cost-effective solution to bar code data
collection."

The 6 mil wand, part number 00-000-17, lists for $145.00 (US). This list
price is for quantity one, FOB Eugene, Oregon, and does not reflect any
applicable Reseller discounts.

Founded in 1983, Percon engineers and manufacturers keyless data entry and
identification equipment. Based in Eugene, Oregon, the company sells bar
code hardware and software worldwide through original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and value added resellers (VARs) and
