Kiosk Barcode Scanner: Fast, Accurate, and Secure

Self-service kiosks have become a frequent fixture in recent years. Whether you’re checking out at a store or checking in at the airport, kiosks are a cost effective, efficient way of processing simple, repetitive transactions freeing staff for personalized/enhanced customer service.

Kiosks equipped with hands free barcode scanners facilitate efficient data collection, accurately and securely. These kiosks needs small, aggressive scanners capable of reading 1D and 2D codes on paper or off a mobile screen. Items scanned include a boarding pass, event ticket, or loyalty card, as well as personal identification such as a passport or driver’s license.

 

Choosing the Right Kiosk Scanner

There are many make and model barcode scanners available on the market. Laser scanners are economical but they can’t read barcodes on mobile screens and can only read linear codes. Imager scanners can read both linear and 2D codes. They can also read barcodes displayed on mobile screens. Scanners should be capable of scanning from extreme angles, be tolerant of motion, and read from screens with minimal brightness.

 

Scanner Features:

  • Compact, easy to install/embed, and integrate
  • USB or RS232 interface
  • 1D/2D code decoding: QR code, PDF 417, Data Matrix, Aztec, Code 39, Code 93
