Choosing the Right Desktop Barcode Scanner
The best desktop barcode scanner depends on where it will be used, the type of barcodes being scanned and whether hands-free scanning is required.
When choosing a desktop barcode scanner, consider whether users need to scan products, parcels, tickets, QR codes, labels or documents. A compact scanner may be suitable for a small desk or reception point, while a presentation scanner may be better for higher-volume scanning at a counter or POS area.
You should also consider whether you need 1D or 2D barcode reading, USB connection, hands-free operation, compact size, adjustable stand options or compatibility with your existing POS, stock control or business software.
For packing benches, dispatch areas and stock control workstations, it is also worth considering how often the scanner will be used and whether staff need a simple fixed-position scanner that can stay connected throughout the working day.
