The scanner can decode a wide range of 1D and 2D barcodes, including:
- 1D: UPC, EAN, ISBN, ISSN, Code 128, Code 39, Code 32, Code 93, Interleaved 2 of 5, Industrial 2 of 5, Standard 2 of 5, Code 11, Codabar, GS1 Data Bar, GS1 composite code.
- 2D: QR Code, Micro QR, Data Matrix, PDF417, MicroPDF417, Aztec Code, Maxi Code, Hanxin.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning
To maintain optimal scanning performance, keep the scanning window clean. Use a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
2. Battery Care
To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge the scanner regularly, especially if it will be stored for an extended period.
3. Durability
The scanner is constructed from ABS+PC durable materials and is designed to withstand drops from up to 1 meter. While robust, avoid unnecessary impacts to ensure longevity.
