My new PowerWedge decoder performs differently from my old Series 10/20/Plus. Are there any significant differences I should know about?
For the most part, the PowerWedge decoder family functions in the same way as the Series 10/20/Plus family. Since the PowerWedge decoder family is newer, its performance is superior to the prior generation of PSC decoders. However, PowerWedge decoders may have some initial problems working properly with older computers that use a slow keyboard data transfer rate. In such cases, the decoder may appear to “drop” or omit certain characters from a scanned label. This symptom appears more often with older Macintosh computers than with PCs of the same vintage.
