Barcode Scanners #
There are many makes and models of Barcode scanners that will work with Da Capo Inventory. As long as the scanner can read Code39 and Code128, you will be fine! I have used two models with great success. I think that the wireless one would work the best for a teacher who is using the device to scan inventory items.

$23.99 2D Barcode Scanner
I highly recommend using 2D barcodes on assets listed in Da Capo Inventory. Using a 2D barcode gives you access to LostInstrument.com, a free service of Da Capo Inventory. More Information. Be sure to choose QR codes for your inventory labels! You may wish to put the barcodes in protective luggage tags (below).

If you will be using the Barcode Attendance feature of Da Capo Inventory, we are currently set up to use this scanner. Detailed instructions are provided on the Barcode Ensemble Attendance page.

Note: As of January 2024, I recommend using a 2D barcode scanner, NOT a 1D barcode system. Da Capo can print QR codes for instruments which contain significantly more data and value than a 1D barcode.
