Frequently Asked Questions
How do handheld barcode scanners differ from other scanner types?
Handheld barcode scanners offer mobility and ease of use for scanning products and barcodes on the go. In contrast, fixed-mount scanners stay in one location and scan items as they pass by. Handheld models are ideal for retail, inventory, and warehouse management due to their portability.
What is the benefit of using 2D scanners over 1D scanners?
2D scanners read two-dimensional barcodes like QR codes and data matrices, storing more complex data compared to 1D scanners that handle simple barcodes. 2D barcode scanners are ideal for applications requiring higher data capacity, such as scanning ID cards with complex data patterns or RFID card readers used in access control.
Are cordless barcode scanners available?
Yes, we offer cordless barcode scanners for flexible, wire-free operation, making them perfect for environments where mobility is key. This helps improve productivity in retail checkout lines, warehouses, and fieldwork where cords can limit range and movement.
What are omni-directional scanners?
Omni-directional scanners read barcodes from any angle, eliminating the need to align the barcode directly with the scanner. This makes them highly efficient for high-volume scanning tasks. They are often found in retail and industrial settings where speed and accuracy are paramount.
What is an ESD safe scanner?
ESD safe scanners are specially designed to prevent electrostatic discharge, which can damage sensitive electronic components. These scanners are used in environments where static control is crucial, such as electronics manufacturing.
Can I use a barcode scanner as a fingerprint reader?
No, while barcode scanners read barcodes, a fingerprint scanner or fingerprint reader is specifically designed to capture and recognise fingerprints for security and access control. We offer both options to meet various business and security needs.
What is a fixed-mount scanner used for?
Fixed-mount scanners are ideal for automated scanning tasks, such as reading barcodes on production lines, kiosks, or access control points. Unlike handheld barcode scanners, they remain stationary and continuously scan items as they move within their range.
Can barcode scanners read RFID cards?
While barcode scanners read printed barcodes, an RFID scanner or card reader is used to read data stored on RFID tags and cards. We offer a range of RFID solutions for applications that require non-contact data capture.
How do I choose the right scanner machine for my needs?
Choosing the right scanner machine depends on your specific requirements, such as scanning volume, mobility needs, barcode type (1D or 2D), and environment (e.g., static-sensitive areas). Our team can help you find the perfect product scanner to meet your operational needs. For further assistance in selecting the ideal barcode scanner, feel free to contact us!
