Barcode Scanner Equipment - Buy the Right Barcode Scanner
What Barcode Scannner is Right for your Business?
Handheld, wand, counter-top, USB, keyboard wedge, serial, cordless, wireless RF, WiFi, laser, CCD, imager…
Barcode Scanners are data capture devices. Functionally a scanner is comparable to a keyboard: it reads data from a mark (symbol) and presents it to a host computer. This is where the similarity between scanners ends.
Buying intelligently saves time, money—
and that is your important mission.
Purchasing a scanner based only on price overlooks these important differences. Under-buying or over-buying compromises functionality and puts your mission at risk.
Although they are functionally similar, retail barcode scanners are different than industrial scanners and general purpose scanners. Differences include the read range; industrial scanners can read symbols at greater distances. Retail scanners are often mounted in a countertop window and sometimes incorporate a scale to price variable-weight items such as fresh produce. Industrial scanners are often ruggedized hand-held devices, and often incorporate miniaturized computers or PDT’s. General purpose scanners are found in retail clothing establishments, municipal libraries and professional services such as doctors offices.
