1D or 2D?

A 1D laser scanner reads linear barcodes only, such as those on retail packaging. It cannot read QR codes, and laser scanning of phone screens is unreliable because of screen coatings and emitted light. A 2D imager works like a camera: it reads 1D and 2D codes at any angle and is the right choice if customers show QR codes or mobile coupons on a phone.

How to choose

• Handheld or table-mount: handhelds can be pointed at bulky items; table-mount scanners stay on the counter for fast pass-over scanning.
• Wired or wireless: wired scanners have no battery; wireless scanners give freedom across a stockroom but need charging.
• Interface: USB scanners usually act like a keyboard and work with most POS software without drivers. Confirm with yours.
• Codes you scan: check the supported symbologies before buying.

Use cases in Kenya

Use a 1D handheld for supermarkets, hardware shops and pharmacies, the wireless model for stock taking, and a 2D table-mount unit for counters that scan phone-based codes. Build the counter with a thermal printer, thermal rolls and a cash drawer. Other brands are in the barcode scanners collection.
