Barcode scanners
Fast, error-free processing of goods at the till, in the warehouse and during stocktaking calls for reliable scanning equipment. Here you will find barcode scanners in wired and wireless versions, handheld gun-style models and counter scanners with a stand. Laser scanners read classic 1D codes, while imagers also handle QR and other 2D codes from a phone screen. They connect to a computer or till via USB; wireless variants use Bluetooth or their own receiver. For each model we list the scanning technology, supported codes and connection type.
Barcode scanners
Typing codes in by hand slows work down and leads to mistakes — a scanner solves it with one pull of the trigger. The range includes handheld barcode scanners in gun form, compact counter scanners with a stand for tills, and rugged models for the warehouse. They are complemented by stands, spare cables and wireless receivers.
The essential difference lies in the scanning technology. Laser and CCD scanners read classic 1D codes from paper labels; 2D imagers also handle QR codes, DataMatrix and codes shown on a phone screen — ideal for pick-up points, tickets or electronic coupons. With damaged or poorly printed labels, higher resolution helps.
The second criterion is connectivity. Wired models with a USB interface work straight after plugging in, with no installation, in keyboard mode. Wireless variants communicate via Bluetooth or a 2.4 GHz receiver and give freedom of movement around the warehouse — check the range and battery life; built-in memory for scanning out of range of the base is a practical bonus.
When choosing, start from the environment where the barcode scanners will be used. Occasional scanning in the office calls for a simple wired CCD model; a till needs a fast counter scanner; a warehouse, a rugged wireless reader protected against dust and drops. Also check compatibility with your till system and support for the codes you use (EAN, Code 128, QR).
How we rank results
We determine the order of offers in search results and in category listings automatically, according to the rules below. No seller is given priority in the ranking, and it is not possible to pay us for a better position.
Search (default sorting “Relevance”): what counts is how well an offer matches the search term. Offers that match the term exactly appear at the top, followed by offers with a small deviation (for example a typo) and finally offers that only partly match it.
Categories (default sorting “Best Sellers”): the offers that sell the most appear at the top.
Sorting by price: if you choose Price: Low to High or Price: High to Low, we sort by price including VAT only.
