Three selectable code modes let users restrict scans to 1D, 2D/QR or both.

What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing is inconsistent about the imaging technology: it calls the scanner 2D CCD in a feature, but describes a 2D CMOS scanner and a 640*480 CMOS sensor in the product details. It also gives different dimensions in the detail fields and description, and conflicting weights of 300 Grams and Shipping Weight:480g. The claimed scan rate appears as 200 vezes/s in details and 200times/s in the description. Confirm the selected listing's exact configuration and measurements if these matter. The drop-survival claim is 5ft/1.5m, but the product description does not establish this as a tested rating.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

Retail or counter setups needing a hands-free USB scanner for printed labels and screen-presented codes.
Users who want separate 1D and 2D/QR scanning modes on a stationary workstation.

Less suited to

Mobile stocktaking or other workflows that require a wireless scanner.
Buyers who need a fully settled sensor specification or exact physical measurements before purchase.

Customer feedback reports fast scanning, straightforward plug-and-play use and positive impressions of accuracy, including for QR codes and barcodes. Compatibility feedback is mixed, with reports of both successful operation and failure. For a USB scanner intended for a fixed desk, compatibility with the specific computer or tablet matters, so confirm the setup before relying on it. The scanner's listed connection is USB Cable, but that does not guarantee compatibility with every device.

Positive themes

Customers describe scanning as fast and setup as simple.
Feedback praises accuracy with QR codes and barcodes.

Mixed feedback

Compatibility experiences are mixed, with some customers reporting that it works and others saying it does not work at all.
