Barcode Scanners

Linear Barcode Scanners and Barcode Readers can be used for a variety of applications. General purpose scanners are used in libraries, light inventory and office use, while industrial scanners are used on manufacturing lines, in warehouses and transportation terminals. These barcode scanners also accommodate any barcode by size, color and scanning distance. L-Tron provides standard range, special focus and high density barcode scanners to accommodate your needs while maintaining further flexibility with extended range, Bluetooth and wireless scanning options.  

Three main technologies are utilized: Laser, Linear Imager, and CCD. The most popular ways to connect barcode scanners to your computer or terminal are: Keyboard Wedge, USB Keyboard Emulation, and RS-232 Serial interfaces.

Other interfaces, used with special cables, also exist - one lets the scanner look like it is a barcode wand, known as wand emulation. Other interfaces enable the scanner to connect directly to a number of different POS desktop and portable terminals. 

These barcode scanners are offered both as stand alone devices and, for your convenience, in kits that add an interface cable (and sometimes a required power supply), and possibly other accessories, such as a desktop stand.
