Great Barcode Reader
I bought this to replace a corded barcode reader for my M1 Mac. I use it in conjunction with FileMaker and it does a superb job.The scanner is lightweight, easy to hold and features a blue light on top to indicate that it's ready to scan and has both auto off and a barcode command to turn it off immediately. The trigger button has a quality feel to it. It is recharged via a USB-B port (the connector type you find on most printers and scanners). Mine can handle several hundred scans a day and only goes down 1% in power (battery level accessed via a barcode command). It comes with a USB-A to USB-B cord for charging.The scanner wirelessly connects to your computer (or other device) via a USB dongle, similar to what many wireless mice and keyboards use. It's more in the shape of a large flash drive though. The width is somewhat wider than a typical USB connector so if your USB ports share a tight space you may have to put it on the end or make space for it. I have mine connected to a powered hub. The dongle has a blue light to indicate it is functioning. (See my photo for size comparison to flash drives and Logitech Unifying Receiver... scanner's dongle is at top of image with opened cap.)The scanner comes with a frequently-used barcode command card in the style and material of a credit card, which is handy.The 38 page user manual is filled with other barcode commands like switching between barcode types, changing the sound level of the beep, manual/continuous, duplicate detection, case sensitivity, prefix/suffix, language, etc. It also features two modes: upload and storage. Upload sends the code contents immediately and storage allows you scan and store until you get back to a computer to upload them all at once. I don't need the storage option but have tested it in Excel, it will dump one code, pause ever so slightly and then dump another code until it is finished. Be sure to put this manual in a safe place for the command codes!This barcode scanner has far more abilities than any other scanner I've owned. I don't think I'll even use half of them, but they are nice to have. So far this is the best scanner I've owned and I would recommend it.Ver másVer menos
