ID TECH Plug 'n Play USB CCD Barcode Scanner

Is this the scanner you are looking for? If not, we have others to offer at our Scanner Index

This low priced ID-TECH barcode reader can scan linear bar codes that are up to 3.2 inches wide from contact to about 1" away. The CCD scanner from ID TECH contains no moving parts, yet is lightweight and designed to fit comfortably in the hand for extended periods of usage. The CCD scan engine in this scanner can focus on smaller barcodes better than most lasers scanners and still read large barcodes. For example, the CCD imaging technology allows this scanner to read our Code 39 barcode font when printed as small as 6 points and as large as 28 points. The USB scanner is a good choice if your computer supports USB or if you have a laptop. This scanner does not have a sharp aiming beam like the laser scanners do. If you desire a scanner with a sharp aiming beam, we recommend the Symbol Cobra Laser Scanner.

Scanner Focus:
This scanner read our Code 39 bar code font when printed as small as 6 points and as large as 28 points as well as any size between. This particular scanner will only read barcodes at certain distances depending on how small or large they are. Therefore, it is possible to be too close or too far from the barcode to obtain a good scan. Barcodes are best read with this scanner by holding the trigger button when the scanner is about 1 inch above the barcode and then move it to the barcode at any rate of speed (fast or slow), and you will get a good and quick scan every time. It should also be noted that this scanner does not have a sharp aiming beam which is standard with a laser scanner. If you don't mind these issues, you will be very happy with the price and performance of this scanner. If you are looking for a higher quality scanner, we recommend you consider the Symbol Cobra Laser Scanner, Intermec Sabre 1400 Scanner, HHP USB Scanner or review our scanner index.

Scanner Programming:
The manual provided with the scanner is good; it allows you to program the scanner by just scanning barcodes in the manual. The manual also comes with a big barcode on the front of it labeled "default" and when you scan it all default settings are enabled. When we received this scanner, all we did was plug it into the USB port and scan the "default" barcode. We were scanning barcodes within seconds. Also of importance, the default settings set the minimum barcode scan length to 5, so if you are scanning barcodes with 5 or less characters you have to override this setting.
