Inateck Wireless Barcode Scanner 2D, Bluetooth 5.0 QR Code Scanner, Portable Pocket Scanner, 30m Transmission Range,Read Barcodes on Screen, BCST-40

Barcode readers are a little specialist for most people. You need a good reason to warrant buying one for home use. Businesses on the other hand may well need them for stock control and the such. Then there is that group of people, like me, who just love to try out these sort of gadgets. It’s quite addictive!I’ve tried quite a few different barcode readers, most from this manufacturer. They’ve all had a good quality finish and work reliably. This particular model is the first pocket-sized one I’ve tried. Although it’s small it works just as well as the bigger gun-shaped ones.The range of barcodes it can read is exhaustive, and I won’t bother listing them all here as the seller has done a good job of that on the product page. Probably the most important 2D code is the QR Code as this is appearing on so many products with links to their website or customer support.Like most readers, this one acts as a keyboard on your computer. When it scans a code it types it for you. So you need to be ready to receive the information. For instance, if you want to read a QR code that has a website link in it, start your browser and place the cursor on the address line. Then scan the QR code and the web address will be printed straight into the browser.It can connect to your computer in one of two ways. One uses a Bluetooth connection and the other uses a direct USB connection. Either way is just as easy to use. Bluetooth is easy to pair and connect. If you are doing say a stock take, and you don’t want to have a computer nearby, then the scanner can be set to inventory mode where it will store all the codes internally. Then, when back at the computer, all the codes can be uploaded in one go.Using all the functions is done by QR codes, and they supply the most common ones on a handy little card. Point the scanner at the QR code you want and that function will be activated. It’s quite an easy way of doing things.The scanner emits a red light when the button is pressed making it easy to line up with the code to be read. It’s worked on all but one barcode which was printed on an opaque plastic bag. On every other surface, including on-screen, worked perfectly. There is a beep when the code has been read along with a vibration which gives an acknowledgement that it’s done.The scanner has a built-in rechargeable battery and can be recharged using the supplied USB lead connected to any USB power source. Not sure how long the charge lasts for, but I have been playing with it for quite some time and the battery is still saying 100%.Overall, not cheap, but it’s a decent barcode scanner. I hope that helps.

What lockdown does to you hey?The settings are a little odd, as you have to scan various QR codes, I guess it gives you practice! I would've preferred an app linked to a search engine which collates everything for you. But I guess it would up the price.If you are looking for a nice lightweight barcode scanner this is for you. Just a little fiddly to set up. Recommended.

The media could not be loaded. Using this tool is very easy. Its light weight (65 grams) is another advantage.Connecting with Bluetooth is very easy. The area of use is very common.I recommend a quality product.included in the box * 1, USB Cable * 1, User Manual * 1, Function Setting Card * 1, Lanyard * 1, Flannelette Bag * 1

I have a traditional barcode scanner that works brilliantly but is too chunky to carry around with me. I was happy to try out a barcode scanner that could fit in my laptop bag. I found it reasonably easy to set up and connect. I have only had to charge it up once as the battery seems to last forever. I found it generally okay to use. I feel it has more functions than I need and so I did struggle to get it working as I wanted especially as you don't receive a proper manual. I also got a bit irritated at the fact that it doesn't instantly wake up from sleep mode. I do tend to have to do other tasks whilst I am scanning so having to push buttons to wake it up each time I needed to scan something was irritating. I haven't yet worked out whether I can turn off the sleep function. I do like this scanner because of the size but I will keep my old scanner to use at home.

There were two scanners that would work with my software to inventory items in a retail store. This was the cheaper by half. Works perfectly. Huge time saver.

Sehr guter Scanner mit einer großartigen Akkuleistung. Nach ein paar kleineren Einstellungen auf meine Bedürfnisse, macht der Scanner exakt was er soll. Scannt auch bei schlechten Lichtverhältnissen oder bei eingeschweißten Barcodes. Sehr zufrieden

livraison très rapide. Remplis parfaitement son rôle.

Comodo, tascabile, molto reattivo. Ottimo prodotto per il prezzo che ha

Carisisimo y de mala calidad . Llevo 2 meses la clavija de la carga interna se metió para dentro como nada, muy frágil, no volvería a comprarlo
