EVENT SESSION SCANNER RENTALS: TYPES OF BARCODE SCANNERS

Barcode scanner varieties are distinguished by their form factor and their scanning technologies. Here are the different barcode scanners offered by Event Session Scanner Rentals:

• Wand barcode scanner – This must be swiped over the barcode at a consistent rate of speed and at a particular angle. This makes them the least efficient scanner to use, but they are the least expensive.
• Fixed-mount barcode scanner – These read barcodes as they are passed in front of the scanner. They are widely used in work-in-progress applications and for high-speed sorting along conveyor systems.
• Linear image barcode scanner – This is also known as CCD scanners, CCD LR (long range) scanners, and full array imagers. The scanning technology they employ uses no moving parts, thus making the linear imager scanners more durable than laser scanners
