All About 2D Barcode Scanners
Barcodes are ubiquitous in our modern world, appearing on everything from products to documents. These machine-readable codes encode all sorts of important information that can be used to identify and track items, making them a vital tool for businesses.
Barcodes are of two types: one-dimensional (1D) (also called linear barcodes) and two-dimensional (2D – also called matrix barcodes or micropattern codes).
One-dimensional barcodes are traditional barcode symbologies that store data horizontally and feature a sequence of vertical lines of varying widths and spaces. Some common examples of linear barcodes include Universal Product Code (UPC), European Article Number (EAN), Code 128 and Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF 2 of 5).
Two-dimensional barcodes are complex barcode symbologies that store data both horizontally and vertically, resulting in greater data storage capacity and data density. They contain graphics or patterns like dots, squares, or hexagons arranged in rows, columns, and corners representing data. Some common examples of 2D barcodes are Quick Response code (QR code), Aztec code, PDF417, Maxicode and Data Matrix.
2D barcodes offer various advantages over 1D barcodes, such as higher data storage capacity, higher scanning speeds, improved data accuracy and reliability, less overall space requirements and greater security. Such benefits have led to the increased popularity and adoption of 2D barcodes among businesses in various industries.
What is a 2D Barcode Scanner?
2D barcode scanners are scanning devices capable of reading and decoding two-dimensional barcodes, one-dimensional barcodes and stacked barcode symbologies. These devices use advanced CCD and Imaging technology to accurately capture and decode barcoded data, even when the codes are damaged, distorted, or otherwise obscured.
2D barcode scanners come with omnidirectional scanning technology, which allows them to read barcodes from any orientation. The 2D scanners also feature advanced optics and illumination systems that result in an extended reading range, allowing for fast and accurate decoding of even the most complex barcodes.
Types of 2D Barcode Scanners Offered By Triton
The Triton Store offers the following types of 2D barcode scanners.
- General barcode scanners
- Rugged barcode scanners
- Mobile Terminals
- USB barcode scanners
- Wireless barcode scanners
- Bluetooth barcode scanners
- Fixed scanners and sensors
General Barcode Scanners
General barcode scanners are generic scan devices that provide accurate, efficient, and reliable barcode scanning. These devices are lightweight, simple to use and offer a wide range of features that make data collection easier.
General scanners are not very durable and are only able to handle minor accidents such as accidental drops. Nonetheless, they still serve vital business needs and work well in low-intensity environments such as retail stores, supermarkets, and offices.
Check out Triton’s general barcode scanner homepage for a complete selection of general-purpose barcode scanners.
Rugged Barcode Scanners
Rugged barcode scanners incorporate the same features as general barcode scanners. However, they are designed with resilience and toughness as core attributes.
Rugged scanners are built with strong materials such as reinforced plastic and metal. They come equipped with protective features such as bumpers, rubber frames and coatings to defend against drops, tumbles, dust, dirt, water spills and other liquids. These scanners haveIngress Protection (IP) rating, tumble test certification, and pass drop-impact tests, ensuring utmost durability.
Visit Triton’s rugged barcode scanner homepage to browse a selection of high-quality and reasonably priced rugged barcode scanners.
Mobile Terminals
Mobile Terminals are hand-held devices that combine barcode scanning with mobile computing capabilities in one single device. They have a lightweight design with an ergonomic grip for portability and convenience. They are also known as Mobile Computer barcode scanners.
Mobile Terminals run on Android or Windows operating systems and feature in-built memory capacity and powerful processors for speedy data processing. They offer various wireless connectivity options, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, radio frequencies, and mobile broadband (3G/4G). They also feature a touchscreen display and an integrated keyboard for convenient data entry and documentation.
Mobile Terminals are durable devices designed for harsh outdoor conditions and challenging work applications such as warehouses, logistics and manufacturing. They are made with strong materials like reinforced plastic or metal and feature sturdy housing, rubber grips, and bumpers. In addition, they come with Ingress Protection (IP) ratings, tumble ratings, and certified drop tests, ensuring they are highly resilient.
Stop by Triton’s Mobile Terminal homepage to explore a selection of Mobile Terminals available in different models and configurations.
USB Barcode Scanners
Universal Serial Bus (USB) barcode scanners are wired barcode scanners that link to a host machine (such as a computer) via a USB cable and USB interface. The scanners use the USB connection for power supply, communication, and transferring barcoded information.
USB barcode scanners cannot work independently and always need a host device to carry out their scanning and decoding functions, as they don’t have an in-built memory or processor. USB scanners provide a simple, cost-effective way of scanning barcodes without hassle.
USB barcode scanners require minimal setup and installation, making them ideal for use in stores, supermarkets, offices, and other locations where barcode scanning is regularly required.
Check out Triton’s USB barcode scanner homepage to purchase quality USB barcode scanners at competitive prices.
Wireless Barcode Scanners
Wireless barcode scanners are scanning devices that transfer barcode data wirelessly using radio frequency such as WiFi or Bluetooth from the scanner device to the host device.
Wireless scanners have built-in memory and processors, making them capable of storing and processing barcode information without necessarily requiring a host device. They come with a reachable battery responsible for providing power to the device and running its operations seamlessly.
A wireless barcode scanner can connect with its host device in two ways.
- Directly with the host device (direct connectivity)
- Via a charging dock or base station (indirect connectivity)
Wireless barcode scanners are an ideal scanning solution for businesses that require mobility and freedom. They are widely used in retail stores, supermarkets, healthcare industry, manufacturing plants and logistics and warehouse environments.
Triton’s wireless barcode scanner homepage offers an extensive selection of the best-quality wireless barcode scanners available at great prices. Shop now!
Fixed Scanners and Sensors
Fixed scanners and sensors are scanning devices designed to be mounted in a permanent location and automatically scan the barcodes of the products as they pass by. These scanners and sensors are equipped with advanced detection systems to ensure seamless scanning of items without any manual intervention.
Fixed scanners and sensors rely on lasers or imaging technologies to read barcodes from a distance. They are commonly used on production lines, conveyors and assembly lines in large factories, warehouses and manufacturing plants.
Head to Triton’s fixed scanners and sensors homepage to find a range of reliable and efficient image-based 1D and 2D code scanners.
