Handheld barcode scanners can be divided into handheld wired barcode scanners and handheld wireless barcode scanners according to the transmission method. So, what is the difference between these two handheld barcode scanners? The first is a handheld wired barcode scanner, which transmits data to terminals such as computers or POS machines through data cables. Therefore, wired barcode scanners have a wider range of applications, such as cash registers in shopping malls and convenience stores in reality. You can see handheld barcode scanners in every scene. Next, let's talk about handheld wireless barcode scanners. It generally transmits data through wireless transmission methods such as Bluetooth and WiFi. Data can be easily transmitted without being restricted by the length of the data cable. It is more flexible and convenient, and is more common in the summary work of some large and medium-sized warehouses, such as warehouses, logistics, express delivery and other relatively fixed natural environments.
Since handheld wireless barcode scanners do not need to be affected by the length of the data cable during operation, they are more sensitive and convenient than handheld wired barcode scanners. But when choosing, it usually depends on the application scenario. If it is used in a fixed area, it is recommended to use a handheld wired barcode scanner, because the wired barcode scanner uses data cable transmission and is relatively faster. Moreover, the price of a handheld wired barcode scanner is cheaper than that of a wireless barcode scanner. If it is to be used in a large area, it is recommended to choose a handheld wireless barcode scanner. Data transmission via WiFi or Bluetooth is more convenient to use without the entanglement of data cables.
Supermarkets are the places where scanning devices are used most. Although most supermarkets are equipped with unified equipment, there are still some newly opened or private supermarkets. When choosing a scanner, they will have doubts about whether to choose a wired barcode scanner or a wireless barcode scanner.
The appearance size of NETUM NT-L8BL is 170*70*100mm (length*width*height). From the following pictures, we can see that the appearance of this scanning device is very beautiful. Whether it is at the tail of the scanner or around the scanning window, it has a shock-proof and drop-proof protective soft rubber cover. With this layer of protection, even if it falls from a high place, it will not cause any serious damage to it. In addition, this scanner is designed according to ergonomic standards. Even if the operator operates for a long time, the hand will not feel tired.
With an excellent appearance design, the internal configuration is naturally indispensable. NETUM NT-L8BL is developed using NETUM's latest core technology. In addition to various one-dimensional barcodes, it can also scan some PDF417 and MicroPDF417 stacked two-dimensional barcodes. At the same time, this scanner also supports common mainstream PC interfaces such as USB, RS232, and PS/2, meeting the needs of different users. Featuring 2.4GHz wireless and USB wired dual-mode design with included mini USB receiver and charging cable for true plug-and-play operation. Automatically switches between wireless and wired modes to meet different connectivity needs. Compatible with Windows and MAC OS systems, seamlessly integrating with common office software like QuickBooks, Word, and Excel.
Through the survey, it was also found that supermarket scanners generally choose wired barcode scanning, because the cash register is where the wires can reach. The scanning equipment of wireless barcode scanners is generally used in warehouses, logistics and other places, because these places need to be far away from the computer host, and the scanned barcodes are also attached to heavier goods, so it is relatively better to choose a wireless barcode scanner. Now many supermarkets also use platform barcode scanners to improve cashier efficiency: platform scanners usually have a larger scanning area and higher recognition speed, which can quickly scan product barcodes and reduce customer waiting time. At the same time, platform barcode scanners can liberate the double less and reduce the labor intensity of staff. This NETUM A6 desktop scanner is equipped with an intelligent motion sensor for contactless automatic scanning. When idle, it enters sleep mode to save power-once the product enters its detection area, it will immediately activate and scan the barcode, and seamlessly transfer the data to your device.
