CipherLab A8001RSC00005 8000 Series Pocket-Size Mobile Computer, Li-Ion Battery, Linear Imager, 4 MB, 21 Key, CD, Application Generator, Manual, Requires Charge/Communications Cradle

These machines are great. DON'T FORGET THE DOCKING STATION SOLD SEPARATELY THOUGH! (Also you only need one docking station for multiple scanners so get more than one scanner if you have more than a couple thousand items to count; they pay for themselves really fast)

Does not come with the docking station as pictured. Also does not come with driver.

This item A8001RSC00005 is only the hand help mobile computer. It does NOT come with the charge/communication cradle or anything else.I called Cipherlab and spoke to a Rep. Amazon needs to fix this description. You must order A8001RAC00004 to get charge/Communication cradle cable

Did I miss finding it or shouldn’t there have been a small DVD with the operating software and drivers with the device. I get I had to buy the scanner and the charging dock separately but one would sure expect when buying a small computer like this that there would be Software associated with it. Especially when, in this case, the manufacture points to the software that should come with the scanner(see CipherLab 8000 Quick Start Guide available online).

no charger in the box

Out of the box, this scanner is pretty useless. It doesn't come with any software and there's no way to get any of the scans off the scanner.

Doesn't come with any way to charge it or upload the infomation. Why would something be sold on it's own that can't be used on it's own?

Price is to high
