FAQ

 A barcode scanner helps with various types of barcodes. From QR codes to discount, offers, and product codes, you can easily detail the codes that are no more valid or invalid by using a barcode scanner. However, the main question remains ‘how to choose a barcode scanner for your store or personal purpose?” Check out the following tips that will help you to make a better choice:-

1) Ingress protection complemented barcode devices: IP rating on electronic appliances such as barcode scanner allows you to find out how much there is a chance of damage due to dropping into water or access to dust? Some locations like warehouses are full of dust and thus, there’s a chance your barcode scanner may not survive or lose its working abilities. IP67 Rating suggests that the barcode scanner is waterproof.

2) Brightness inspection: You could be working in a local store with a high-end light system or you could be working in a closed warehouse. In this case, detailing inventory using a barcode scanner can be easy. However, the condition that applies is that the scanner must go with the brightness level in your workplace. For instance, in dark space, your barcode scanner must be willing to read the scan. Thus, you must check the barcode scanner in your workplace as a demo before you purchase it.

3)Type of scanning: If you only need to scan 1-dimensional barcodes, Linear barcode scanners are a perfect choice.

In General

You can think of barcodes as preformatted, fixed letter patterns that removes the need for typing. The scanner just interprets what that pattern is.

The Process               

1. The barcode scanner sends a light (typically red) that hits the barcode.
2. Some light bounces back into the imaging sensor that is housed in the scanner. Black will send back less than white. In this way, the sensor can “see” the black/white differences of the barcode.
3. The imaging sensor has software/firmware that interprets the sensor’s input based on what the barcode standard the user has selected or available the software to use (if not in auto-detect mode).
4. The software, once it has interpreted the output, sends it as a keyboard input (typically it is the default mode) to whatever device is attached, although it could be configured differently if you were developing the device’s firmware from scratch.

The handheld barcode scanner is one of the scanners that is held in the hand of the user during operation. Most handheld scanners are designed like a handgun, with a grip and a trigger to activate the scanning operation, but the term “Handheld Barcode Scanner” also refers to scanners that are better known as Mobile Computer, which have their own full-blown operating system running. Our handheld scanners can be corded, cordless, 1D, 2D, or connected to a IOS/ Android smartphone/ tablet. This broad term refers to barcode scanners that are portable and easily used with one-hand operation. These scanners typically use a trigger-like mechanism with point-and-scan functionality. Handheld barcode scanners may be wired or wireless, it can scan 1D or 2D barcodes with a laser or imaging technology.
