[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 5084109, member: 198"] I’ve been leaving the center with a DIAD5 and DIAD6 for a few weeks now because 5 has become so unreliable. After getting used to 6 I’ve gotten to like it better. It’s definitely harder to transition to than others were but I like it. My advice for everyone is to learn the touchscreen first before trying to figure out keyboard alternatives. And don’t be tempted to avoid scanning barcodes at all (yes, it’s possible) unless you’re willing to be extra careful when selecting packages on the shelf or floor. It’s easy to grab the wrong one or leave one behind. Most of us are used to grabbing a package, scanning it, and hitting “orange, 5, 7” on resi stops quickly without really having to look at the package or barcode. That’s just not gonna happen with DIAD6. The closest is something like “1, 1, stop complete” on the touchscreen or “1,1, right arrow” on the QWERTY. The DIAD doesn’t respond as quickly as 5 so you have to slow down those, or any other, sequences were all used to on DIAD5. [/QUOTE]
