Each package or parcel of express has a barcode or QR code on the waybill, to input the data of the barcode and QR code, people can not work without a barcode scanner.

Such as inventory management, high efficient work requested a good barcode scanner to read the barcode and transmit barcode data fast. Then how to choose a suitable barcode scanner? 

We can consider below points:

1. Barcode type that need to read. 1D or 2D, generally the barcode on the waybill is long, so a barcode scanner that can read the long barcode is needed.

2. Reading distance. The depth of field, different printing quality and barcode type makes the reading distance differently. To find a suitable reading distance need to test. Generally, the reading distance is from 0 ~ 625px, the barcode is longer, the distance is farther. The barcode is smaller, the distance is closer.

3. Data transmission ways: wired/wireless. Generally for warehouse, people will choose wireless transmission way, because they can use the barcode scanner more convenient without the cable length problem. And the main transmission ways of the wireless barcode scanner: bluetooth and 2.4G, any device that supports the 2 ports can connect the wireless barcode scanner, like laptop computer, phone, table PC, etc.

Lead time. Choose a barcode scanner manufacturer who has product stock, it’s important to save purchasing time.
