Hi again Mike, The kdc is only for scanning bar codes. It has a laser scanner that is exclusively for that purpose.
For OCR applications such as sorting mail, there are three good products, the standscan, the justscan, and the scan doc. I can tell you a bit about some of these in another thread if you are interested.
