Symcode 2D QR Bluetooth Barcode Scanner with Screen Display with Charging Base,Best 3 in 1 Compatible with Bluetooth & 2.4GHz Wireless & Wired Connection with 1.8 inch TFT Color LCD Screen

Great product, superfast read speed and the storage mode is fantastic for remote stocktake.

Works great. Got connected to Mac quickly (Bluetooth) and it’s easy to setup for windows is easy too.

I've purchased the Symcode 2D QR Bluetooth Barcode Scanner multiple times over the past several years. The affordability and quality of this scanner keep me coming back whenever I need more devices for my projects. The versatility of the 3-in-1 connection options (Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless, and wired) and the 1.8-inch TFT color LCD screen make it a great tool for various scanning needs.The only downside is that it's not very rugged. If it's dropped too many times, it tends to stop working. So, if you need a scanner for a rugged environment where drops are common, this might not be the best choice. However, if you're looking to prototype a solution that requires a scanner, this is a great option without a massive expense. Overall, I'm quite satisfied with its performance and value for the price.

There are a lot of advertised features you can't use without the "Software Development Manual" (not included, ask Symcode for it in PDF form), such as a number of barcode types turned off by default, using continuous mode (don't need to use the trigger), volume control of the beep, and having it tell you what type of barcode that was (along with the contents). If you use storage mode you'll need the manual that DID come with the scanner, and if you use it regularly you may wear out the manual. I'm not sure that 5th-generation copies of the special barcodes will still work. Get an electronic copy.The scanner works very well. It's not perfect, but the checksum almost always catches a misread, and this usually involves a bent, dirty, or damaged barcode. It's fast. It can store a lot of data. The batteries last a long time. If you need to use the "don't go to sleep" barcode to keep it connected to Bluetooth, I suggest using the "go to sleep now" barcode overnight and weekends or the display will be on 24x7 and drain the battery.

Everything online is Chinese. Sending unit back. Scanner works and like the features. However it fails to scan the main barcode I bought it for, scanning communications license keys. To download the software enabling good features is a joke. It's a file share site that you have to signup for to download. The software isn't even offered on there own site.
