## What it means for a shop owner

It speeds up selling, avoids price-typing mistakes and makes counting easier because you scan instead of typing. Most packaged goods arrive with one, and for what you make or repack yourself you print your own label.

## A worked example

You scan a juice carton, the reader picks up the number and adds the item to the bill at 12. Scanning 5 cartons adds 60 without typing a single number.
