[Histonet] cassette colors and scanning

[Normington Lacy]

I would not recommend florescent pink, red or aqua.  The colors that we currently use are yellow, white, green, lilac, light pink (salmon), and orange (on Printmate's only).  We had many trials and tribulations when it came to the barcodes actually scanning.  We went through three different scanners until we found the one that was most consistent.  The scanner brand we have settled on is Honeywell, model 1900.  Good luck.

Good morning everyone!

Do any of you have any advice regarding which color cassettes do not work well with the barcode scanning systems currently in use today?

Thanks much!
