Out of the Box

The usage has been simplified so it is not necessary to carry the instruction manual during use for most users.

1. The scanner is on the silent and vibrate mode by default, which is a good companion for users in libraries and bookstores.

2. The independant power switch can prevent misoperation when you put the scanner in the pocket.

3. To save power, it will automatically enter sleep mode after 3 minutes of inactivity. You may reset the auto sleep time if needed.

4. Thoughtful shortcut feature is available.

Superb Decoding Capability

Screen Scanning: The scanner can almost read all 1D and 2D barcodes on paper and screen.*Due to different decoding algorithms, laser scanners have more advantage to read long barcodes. If you mainly scan long 1D barcodes with 20 or more characters and expect high scanning speed, we recommend the Inateck BCST-70 barcode scanner.
