The main differences between 1D code scanning equipment and two-dimensional code scanning equipment are reflected in the following aspects:

Scan barcode type: 1D barcode scanning equipment can only scan 1D barcodes, such as barcodes on products. The 2D barcode scanning device can scan both 1D barcodes and QR codes, such as QR codes on products.

Working principle: 1D code scanning equipment mainly relies on laser or red light technology. The laser scanning equipment emits a laser light source point through an internal laser device. The vibration motor swings to form a laser line that shines on the barcode, and is then decoded into a digital signal by a decoder. Red light scanning equipment can read barcodes on paper and screens through red light scanning. The 2D scanning equipment uses CMOS imaging modules to read barcodes or QR codes through photography.

Usage scenarios: 1D barcode scanning equipment can only scan 1D barcodes, so it is usually used in places such as supermarkets and libraries that only need to scan 1D barcodes. The QR code scanning device can scan QR codes and read barcodes on paper and screens, so it has a wider range of applications, including mobile payment, product information acquisition, etc.

Price: Generally speaking, the price of 1D code scanning equipment is relatively low, while the price of two-dimensional code scanning equipment is slightly higher.

XTIOT's 1D code scanning device XT6101 and two-dimensional code scanning device XT6603B XT6203 are different in functions and usage scenarios.

1D barcode scanning equipment is mainly used to scan 1D barcodes, which are usually found on various commodities and items. Its working principle may rely on laser or red light technology to quickly and accurately read 1D bar code information. 1D barcode scanning equipment is widely used in supermarkets, libraries, warehouses and other occasions where 1D barcodes need to be managed.

2D barcode scanning equipment has more powerful functions and can scan both 1D barcodes and QR codes. This means that it can not only read traditional barcode information, but also QR code information such as QR codes, making it suitable for more diversified application scenarios. For example, QR code scanning equipment plays an important role in mobile payment, product information acquisition, and electronic voucher verification.

When choosing XTIOT's 1D code scanning device or two-dimensional code scanning device, it mainly depends on your specific needs and usage scenarios. If you only need to scan 1D barcodes, then 1D scanning equipment is a more economical and practical choice. But if you need to scan QR codes or handle both 1D and 2D codes, then a 2D scanning device will be a better choice.
