Hi,

I read here before that some of you scan your empty boxes before they
go in the bin and reorder them via internet supermarkets.

What scanner do you recommend for this, and does it come with an SDK
for you to write your own software? Have any of you made web sites
describing what you have done?

Thanks,
Stephen.
