2D Barcode Scanners

Features of using a scanner for 2d barcodes

Trading and inventory control requires constant control over a large number of goods. To automate work, it is convenient to use a method of reading information based on a system of two-dimensional barcodes (these include not only popular qr codes, but also other types of 2d barcode encoding).

Using a 2D barcode scanner, an employee will be able to quickly read data from labeled packages (corresponding labels are affixed to them), on the spot receiving the required information about the product, including its name and article number, price, date of manufacture and expiration date, information about discounts, manufacturer data, etc.

To organize such an accounting system, it makes sense to buy a 2d Zebra barcode scanner capable of quickly scanning markings, and for this there is no need to bring the device directly to the goods – most modern models are able to do this from a distance (depending on the reader module).

Thus, having a 2d code scanner can greatly simplify the acceptance of goods to the warehouse, the movement of goods inside it, and the inventory. It also makes sense to buy a 2d barcode scanner to equip the cashier's workplace with it, regardless of whether it is a small outlet or a large supermarket.

What are the best 2d barcode scanners to buy

A modern 2d code scanner is a compact device that connects to a PC to synchronize with the database. There are two main types of scanning equipment:

• Wired Scanner – often installed at the workplace of a cashier at a point of sale, it can be stationary or manual
• Wireless – is more versatile as it can be used in large warehouses

For a wireless 2d barcode scanner, the price is not much different from the cost of wired ones, since it depends more on the performance of the model. At the same time, such devices are more convenient, since the user is not limited by the length of the connecting cable, which is a problem for wired models.

In terms of functionality, it is better to order a universal type 2d code scanner capable of working with both one-dimensional and two-dimensional codes, since the former are still widely used in trade.

Before you buy a 2d barcode scanner, you should first make sure that its capabilities correspond to the conditions of intended use. In particular, the following performance characteristics are relevant:

• Reader module type (LED, more sensitive laser or photo scanning)
• Sensitivity (maximum allowed distance from label to scanner)
• Range (for wireless models)
• Supported interfaces (USB, RS-232, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth)

If operation is expected in difficult conditions, it is better to choose a shock-resistant and waterproof 2d barcode scanner, the price of which will be slightly higher than a device in a conventional case. Also, the cost of the scanner shk 2d can be affected by battery capacity, resolution of the scanning module, support for reading damaged barcodes.
