What is a barcode scanner and what is it used for?
A barcode scanner is an optical device designed to decode symbols printed on labels or packaging. It can read a barcode (1D or 2D) instantly, then send this information to a computer or till software.
These devices facilitate numerous daily operations:
- Fast checkout at points of sale
- Stock management and stocktaking
- Logistics traceability and shipment tracking
- Access control and ticket verification
Wired or wireless: which scanner format should you choose?
Wired barcode scanner (USB)
To equip a fixed station such as a till or counter, the barcode scanner remains a reliable and highly useful choice. Connected via USB, it installs in seconds with no complex configuration required, and remains fully compatible with your management software.
- If you're looking for a simple, lightweight input tool, a standard USB scanner is more than sufficient for handling everyday items.
Other environments, such as a pharmacy counter, tend to require keeping hands free instead.
- In this case, we recommend opting for a wired 2D reader on a stand, which automatically scans products presented in front of its lens. It often has an ergonomic shape designed to save space.
The gun and the wireless scanner
On shelving or in large storage areas, team mobility is the priority. A cable quickly becomes a hindrance when it comes to performing each barcode reading smoothly.
Using a barcode gun with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity offers complete freedom of movement. All you need to do is place it back on its charging base.
The wireless barcode readers equip warehouse staff moving around the aisles.
Finally, if you carry out price checks or occasional stocktakes, the handheld barcode scanner proves particularly practical.
For example, the standalone PX-20 scanner fits in your pocket and stores your data in memory until you return to the office. This handheld reader is a valuable everyday companion.
1D technology or 2D imager: how to choose the right equipment?
The choice of scanning technology depends directly on the label formats you handle. 1D equipment only reads standard vertical bars. 2D imager models, on the other hand, decode complex formats (QR codes, Datamatrix) and can even scan a mobile phone screen. This feature offers great flexibility of use.
Our advice: To make the right technical decision for your sector, do your research and check out our guide to choosing the right equipment.
