How to choose a Barcode Scanner.
Purchasing a barcode scanner based only on price overlooks many important differences. Under-buying or over-buying compromises functionality and puts your mission at risk. Although they are functionally similar, retail barcode scanners are different than industrial scanners and general purpose scanners. These differences include the read range; industrial scanners can read symbols at greater distances. Retail scanners are often mounted in a countertop window and sometimes incorporate a scale to price variable-weight items such as fresh produce. Industrial scanners are often ruggedized hand-held devices, or fixed mount, and often incorporate miniaturized computers or PDT’s. General purpose scanners are found in retail clothing establishments, municipal libraries and professional services such as doctors offices.
