What if the connection is good though and when trying to scan in the item, it doesn't show up in inventory and no price can be gotten? In this case, it can be one of two things. Either it is a new item and the item hasn't been entered yet into the database, or the label on the item itself is wrong. This actually goes back to the barcoding issue of printing out bad data.

In this case, a technician is going to have to be called in to find out where the break in the cable is. Of course, it can always be a bad network card.
