Is there a barcode scanner that will work with my XE-A206? I bought it not thinking I'd need this feature but I stumble when keying in codes all the time and it would help me so much because my inventory is growing and I'm beginning to get tired!

I was told by another vendor who isn't too computer savvy that I can buy software to work with a scanner but he couldn't tel me how it would work with my register. I need to know what to buy and how it all fits in together so that I can make barcode stickers and scan them easily.

Is this a case of "I'm using the wrong register"?

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I think it is a case of the wrong register unfortunately. The 206 isn't listed on the Sharp UK technical website but the 207 is, and that doesn't support a scanner. The next model up in the XE range, the 307 does support scanning.
As for what the other vendor said. Yes you can get software to connect a scanner to a pc and create a database of codes linked to products, print them out and send them to the till, but you would still need a till capable of taking a scanner.
