We are often asked for recommendations regarding barcode printing software, scanners, and printers, and as we don't deal in accessories ourselves, we’ve put together a list of items which may be of use to you. Please have a look at the items below for a few models of scanners (of which some have been tested by our staff and some by other inFlow users).*

*Please note that this list is meant for informational purposes only and does not constitute an endorsement by inFlow for any of the products listed. inFlow is in no way affiliated with the programs listed below.
