Bar|Scan Technical Support
The Bar|Scan Asset Management System is a very comprehensive program, which often generates many questions. In order to utilize Bar|Scan to its full capacity, we offer technical support services to our customers. You can use this page to locate the assistance you may need quickly. If you do not have a current support contract, you will be billed for technical support. If your current period of support has expired, you can obtain additional support by contacting our Sales Department at 805-777-0079.

Annual Support Includes Standard Program Upgrades
We send out upgrade CDs to all customers on annual support on a regular basis not less than once per year. Upgrades incorporate new features garnered through feedback from our customers. They are also necessary to incorporate changes to remain compliant with new operating systems, new versions of FoxPro, or new bar code readers. An unscheduled upgrade CD may also be sent to a customer to resolve a problem that the customer has identified. UPS domestic ground shipment costs are included as part of our support. Priority shipping and international shipping costs are not included.

Support for Symbol Bar Code Readers (SymbolCareSM Services)
Getting Non-contract Equipment Repaired: All flat rate, non-contract and non-warranty, customers are now required to use the Return Material Authorization (RMA) process. When using the RMA form located at www.symbol.com/services/ or when contacting the Support Center at 1-800-653-5350, customers will be quoted the Tier Two price and be notified of the possibility that the actual charge may be different, based on the repair required. Any abused units will be quoted directly at the Service Center.
