Choosing an Opticon Barcode Scanner
1D Barcode Scanners
Choose a 1D scanner where your application primarily uses traditional linear barcodes and does not require QR codes or other 2D symbols.
2D Barcode Scanners
2D imagers can capture both conventional 1D barcodes and 2D symbols such as QR codes, including barcodes displayed on compatible screens.
Cabled Scanners
A practical option for desks, counters and fixed workstations where the scanner does not need to move far from the host device.
Wireless Scanners
Bluetooth connectivity provides greater freedom for scanning products and assets away from the computer or POS terminal.
Companion Scanners
Compact pocket-sized scanners are ideal where portability and easy connection to a smartphone, tablet or computer are priorities.
Fixed-Mount Scanners
Choose fixed-mount technology where barcodes are presented to a stationary scanner or scanning needs to be integrated into equipment.

Which Opticon Scanner Do I Need?

Check whether you only need conventional 1D barcodes or also need to capture QR codes and other 2D symbols.
How Will You Connect?
Consider whether the scanner needs USB, Bluetooth or another interface to communicate with your computer, tablet, phone or system.
Handheld or Hands-Free?
Choose a conventional handheld scanner, compact companion scanner, wearable device or fixed scanner based on how workers perform the task.
Do You Need a Computer Too?
If workers need to run applications and view information as well as scan barcodes, consider an Opticon mobile computer instead of a standalone scanner.
Is It Being Integrated?
