Handheld Barcode Scanners

Holder for CCD Scanners with USB-A Connection	Replacement Holder for Laser Scanners	Holder for Image Scanners with USB-A Connection

Identify and track items tagged with the most common barcodes. These scanners don’t require any software to communicate with your computer. When you press the trigger to scan a barcode, the data appears wherever your cursor is, just like when you type.

All scanners read 1D barcodes, such as UPC, EAN, Code 39, Code 128, and ISBN codes.

For 2D Barcodes—Scanners for 2D barcodes read QR, Data Matrix, and PDF417 codes.

Laser Scanner—Laser scanners work well for reading barcodes on rounded surfaces.

CCD Scanner—CCD (charge-coupled device) scanners read barcodes on screens and other shiny surfaces better than laser scanners. They also have fewer moving parts than laser scanners, so they last longer.

Image Scanner—Image scanners read lower-quality barcodes than laser and CCD scanners. They’re also able to read barcodes on screens.

Bluetooth Connection—Scanners with a Bluetooth connection work wirelessly hundreds of feet away from the computer they’re sending data to.

USB-A Connection—Scanners with a USB-A connection send data faster than Bluetooth scanners but require you to be tethered to your computer.

For GTINs—Scanners for GTINs (Global Trade Item Numbers) read codes that are typically embedded in UPC and EAN barcodes.

Cannot Be Sold To—Scanners that cannot be sold to the listed areas are restricted due to energy efficiency and/or export regulations.

Barcode Scanner Modules for Development Boards

Build a scanner directly into your machine. These scanners are often used in kiosks for scanning standard barcodes and QR codes to identify items, track documents, and manage inventory. Solder on a wire or header to connect the scanner to your electronic device. For a direct connection to your computer, plug in a USB cable (not included).

Machine-Mount Barcode Scanners

Automate identifying and tracking tagged items on your production line with minimal setup. These scanners are ready to go right out of the box—they have a built-in lens and lights. Their lens, known as a liquid lens, automatically adjusts to different distances and shapes to capture high-quality images even in low-light settings. Access their web interface to see images in real time—no need to download software. To connect them to your network, you’ll need a cord (sold separately).

Tough enough to handle the demands and speeds of most production lines, these scanners are built to be low maintenance. A rugged, compact case protects them from dust and water. Mount them directly to machines.

They read most common barcodes, even if they're damaged or poorly printed. If your barcode is on a computer or phone screen, these scanners can identify it. These scanners detect 1D barcodes, such as UPC, EAN, Code 39, Code 128, and ISBN. They’ll also scan 2D barcodes, such as QR codes, data matrix, PDF417, and permanently etched DPM markings.

Barcode Scanners with Light

Wide Lens—Scanners with a wide lens capture a large area, so they work well for barcodes found on large objects, such as pallets.

Medium Lens—Scanners with a medium lens are a good choice when you need to balance capturing a large area and capturing details. They're good at detecting barcodes on parcel packages.

Narrow Lens—Scanners with a narrow lens focus on a small area with high precision. They can scan barcodes on surfaces as small as a water bottle cap.

White Light—Scanners with white light give off clean, crisp, cool tones that are ideal for inspection work. However, the white light will reflect on shiny surfaces.

Red Light—Scanners with red light won’t create a reflection or glare because the red color is absorbed.

Rugged Android Tablets

As tough as the conditions you work in, these tablets withstand drops, grime, and heavy use. Impact- and scratch-resistant glass along with a reinforced housing, corners, and edges make these stronger than your typical tablet. A combination of their robust design and sealed ports means they’re sturdy enough to pass the highest military performance tests for temperature, shock, and vibration resistance. Because they’re sealed and their internal components have water-resistant coatings, these tablets are IP rated to protect against dirt, dust, and light rinses. From the extreme cold of freezers to the sweltering heat of foundries, they'll stay reliable and won't lag or crash in a wide range of temperatures.

Versatile companions to make your job easier, they’re great for anything from internet access and inventory management to inspection and data analysis. To enhance their helpfulness, download compatible apps from the Google Play store.

Zebra ET40

Zebra tablets have a built-in barcode scanner that reads 1D and 2D barcodes, so you can scan everything from UPC and Code 39 to QR codes. One thing to keep in mind, their touchscreen won’t work with gloves unless they’re designed for touchscreens. These tablets require a charger and USB cord (both sold separately).

CE Marked, UL Listed, and C-UL Certified—They’re UL listed, C-UL certified, and CE marked to meet U.S., Canadian, and European safety standards.

Glare-Reducing Polarized Light Filters

Make it easier to capture barcodes and labels on glossy packaging under bright lighting. These filters reduce glare, helping your scanner or camera pick up every detail. Also known as polarized lighting gels, they work by filtering out light coming from an angle. Because they only slightly darken what passes through, they won’t distort color. Cut them to size with scissors or a utility knife, then mount them over your lens.

Rugged Windows Tablets

As tough as the conditions you work in, these tablets withstand drops, grime, and heavy use. Their scratch-resistant screen, reinforced housing, and rubberized edges make them more durable than your typical tablet. A robust design and sealed ports means they’re sturdy enough to pass the highest military performance tests for temperature, shock, and vibration resistance. Because they’re sealed and their internal components have water-resistant coatings, these tablets are IP rated. From the extreme cold of freezers to the sweltering heat of foundries, they'll stay reliable and won't lag or crash when exposed to a wide range of temperatures. They meet rigorous safety standards.

A built-in barcode scanner reads 1D and 2D barcodes, so you can scan UPC, Code 39, and QR codes.

They have a built-in stand to prop them up for hands-free reading, or you can attach the hand strap for comfort and a secure grip.

Core i5 1335U—With an Intel Core i5 processor, they make quick work of everything from demanding real-time data analysis and multitasking to internet access.

Windows 11 IoT Enterprise—These tablets use a Windows IoT Enterprise system specifically for industrial devices. This makes them compatible with all standard Windows applications. They’re also more secure than consumer versions of Windows. These tablets support long-term security and maintenance updates to ensure that your system remains secure and stable over an extended lifetime.
