A scanner should read the codes found on your products: linear 1D codes, two-dimensional 2D codes, or codes displayed on a screen. The video compares handheld, fixed, and wireless models, as well as their use at checkout and during stocktaking. The choice depends on the size of the retail location, the distance to the workstation, and the condition of the labels.
What to Check Before Choosing
Before purchasing, check the connection to the computer and test scanning in the product search field in Torgsoft. For a wireless scanner, check how codes are transmitted and how it works outside the receiver’s range; for a 2D model, test QR codes displayed on a screen. A scanner sends the code to the active field in the program, so plan the setup of multiple workstations separately.
