Welch-Allyn ImageTeam 3800 but I would think any versitle (and cheaper) scanner might work. The WorldShip PC has a labeler attached (UPS's equipment) and spits out box labels with bar codes on them. I was assuming they are Code 39 but the scanner is smart enough to decode most symboligies. It is a keyboard wedge type scanner so there was no driver involved. It scans the FedEx tracking number bar code too. The shipping people just tab to the tracking numbe field and zap the barcode.

Todd,
What kind of scanner and driver are you using to scan in the ups tracking
number into Vantage?
Thanks

In the mean time we are scanning the tracking number on the label into the
field. No typing required and no errors. Our customer service people
really like it (on 5.20) where in Shipment Tracker they can click on track
and be right at the UPS site (more sites to come as I get time to add the
URLs). Automatic would be nice especially for the cost but just to get the
tracking number in was painless enough that our shipping people didn't
complain at all.

I don't know if anyone has previously mentioned this, but Epicor is
developing a shipping module that integrates with UPS and Fed-Ex.
Tentative availability is Feb/March this year. I don't know that it
does everything you want, but I do know that it updates vantage with
tracking numbers and costs.
Just FYI
