The following attributes or characteristics of the bar code equipment define the scope of this Market Survey as determined by the SAVER Program: • Description: Bar code readers and printers, including devices that have wireless network capabilities; • Important Features: portability of readers and printers, types of tags/labels used; • Operating Considerations: - ensure compatibility of bar code types; - consider 1-D, 2-D and 3-D in their ability to store information within the tag/label proper; further, consider Radio Frequency Identification (RFID); and - consider use of non-paper labels for outdoor use. Review of this information is being performed for the DHS Science and Technology Directorate's System Assessment and Validation for Emergency Responders (SAVER) Program. DHS established SAVER to conduct comparative assessments and validation activities that provide the emergency responder community with information on important products and services.
