Collection: Barcode Scanners

A 1D scanner reads linear barcodes like those on product packaging. A 2D imager reads those plus QR codes and barcodes shown on phone screens, which matters for mobile tickets and coupons. If you handle digital codes at all, go 2D; for plain retail barcodes only, 1D is faster and cheaper. See more in the Printers & Scanners range.

Most work in keyboard-wedge mode, meaning they type the scanned code into whatever field is active, so they work with POS systems, spreadsheets and web apps without drivers. For advanced features you may install the maker's configuration tool. Always confirm compatibility with your specific software.

2D imager scanners read barcodes and QR codes directly off phone and tablet screens, which 1D laser scanners cannot do reliably. This is essential for mobile coupons, loyalty cards and e-tickets. If you expect on-screen codes, choose a 2D model from the Printers & Scanners range.

Wired USB scanners are reliable, never need charging and suit a fixed checkout. Wireless Bluetooth or RF models let you move around to scan bulky or shelved items, ideal for warehouses, but require charging. Pick based on whether your scanning happens at a counter or on the move.

Range depends on the model and connection; many Bluetooth and RF scanners work tens of metres from the base or host in open space, less through walls. Check the stated range against your store or warehouse layout. Keep a spare battery or charging cable from our power and cables range handy.

Yes, scanners speed up stocktaking by entering codes straight into your inventory app or spreadsheet, cutting manual typing errors. A wireless model is best for walking the aisles. For larger operations, pair scanning with label printers in the Printers & Scanners range.
