Barcode Scanners buying guides

Barcode scanners read the stripes or squares on products and send the info to your computer. Check which codes you need. Simple lines are one type, while QR codes and squares need an imager. Connection matters: a cable is steady, while Bluetooth lets you roam. Look for a sturdy build if you scan all day. Most shops, stockrooms and libraries use them.
