MEMO

 

To: Debbie Hu

From: Lee Hao Jie

Subject: Handheld Scanners

 

Debbie, I received the parcel from Scan Technology in 1 piece. The scanner model they sent is correct, and the quantity is right. However, I discovered the cables and connectors are all wrong. They are not suitable for the model 6021101.

 

Can you do me a small favor and go through the product information website and see if the cables and connectors are still compatible with the 3021101 scanners? I have no wish to unpack the cables and connectors and try connecting them to the scanners. I believe we will have problem asking for an exchange if the cables and connectors are not compatible. If the website suggests an incompatibility, please contact Dan Richman, and request an exchange for the correct model. (Refer to the invoice for his email address.)

 

I will only use the scanners for our project once we have resolved the exchange issue. We should not proceed unless we get confirmation on their compatibility. I am looking to resolve this in the shortest possible time as it would be disastrous to wait for this exchange without making progress on the project.
