Barcode Scanners

Barcode Readers, 1D Scanners, 2D Scanners, Corded & Cordless Scanners, RS232/USB/KBW Scanners

Whether in a retail or industrial operation, hand held barcode scanners are an increasingly visible tool for data collection and collation. Point of service applications will benefit from light feature-rich scanners, which utilise the latest scan technologies incorporating laser, area imaging and linear imaging capabilities – no matter what barcode you need to scan, Zebmec can provide a suitable unit.

Harsher environments require a more rugged industrial scanner that can operate through temperature variances, accidental drops and dust. Latest scan technologies are prevalent with tethered and cordless options available. The vast majority of Zebmec’s scanners are ‘IP Rated’; this is the degree to which the item is protected from the environment.

The "plug and play" capabilities of these devices allow users to attach them to a PC or laptop, various fixed terminals and also in industrial vehicles for on-board functionality.

Other devices include flat bed (e.g. often seen at an automated supermarket checkout) and omni directional scanners (that can read barcode labels from any direction), which are ideal for the majority of retail stores where quickness and ease of customer product checkout is essential. Multiple scanning laser beams read the barcode as products are passed to the side or over-head.

A Beginners Guide

Wait for it – barcode scanners scan barcodes! (And they look like Phasers from the Star Trek Enterprise!) Plug them in, aim at the barcode, press the trigger and the information is interpreted. Lightweight devices are needed for your pristine retail outlet whereas hard-as-nails devices are required for your warehouse.
