PERCON INTRODUCES THE BAR CODE EASYWAND
ADDS BAR CODE TO A PC OR LAPTOP IN MINUTES

EUGENE, OR--According to industry trends, the market for a low-power
software-based decoder has been magnified by the increased use of laptop
computers. With that in mind, Percon announces the introduction of the Bar
Code EasyWand.

The Bar Code EasyWand is pre-packaged with everything needed to begin
scanning bar code: steel wand, decoding software on a 3.5-inch disk,
user's manual, 9- to 25-pin adapter, and a wand holder.

The steel wand in the Bar Code EasyWand package connects directly to a PC
or laptop's serial port. Decoding software is loaded under DOS or Windows.
As a Terminate Stay Resident device, the Bar Code EasyWand runs in the
background and is activated only when the user scans in a bar code.
Scanned information appears as keyboard entered data to the existing
software application while the keyboard remains active.

"The Bar Code EasyWand offers all the advantages of a traditional keyboard
wedge decoder (full keyboard support, power from the host computer, and
user-defined parameters) without the restrictions and expense of a decoder
box and cables," says Fabian Borensztein, product development manager.
"Setting up the Bar Code EasyWand is so simple, you can begin scanning in
minutes. With its small footprint and portability, the Bar Code EasyWand
is ideal for inventory, POS, document tracking, and data entry
applications."

The Bar Code EasyWand works with IBM PCS and compatibles (286 or higher),
including laptop computers. It works simultaneously under DOS (5.0 or
higher) and Windows-based (3.1 or higher-standard and advanced) programs,
including databases, word processing and custom application software.

In addition, the Bar Code EasyWand has been independently tested to ensure
maximum compatibility, "a feature not provided by many companies with
similar products," attests Rob Hougen, vice president, engineering. The
Bar Code EasyWand reads the five most popular bar code symbologies
including: Code 39, Code 128, I 2 of 5, UPC/EAN, and Codabar. It also
reads a variety of bar code labels including poorly printed dot-matrix
labels in commercial and retail environments.

Suggested list price for the Bar Code EasyWand is $249 and is backed by a
one year warranty on all hardware and software included in the package.
