Review on πŸ“· Symcode Handheld USB CCD Cordless Barcode Scanner with Wireless Bluetooth Technology, USB Receiver, Code Storage, Rechargeable Battery, and Long Life Span by Javarie Malick

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great wireless barcode reader. Long battery life, long range.

I have this barcode scanner to catalog a huge stack of books and instead of manually entering book ISBN numbers, I can scan book barcodes and enter them directly into the library software. .The scanner is well packed in a carton. It comes with a good charge status and is accompanied by a USB charging cable (not a standard mini USB but a USB printer cable) and a tiny USB dongle. It beeps when it registers a barcode and double beeps when you're out of range of the computer. It scans with a red side laser that turns off when the trigger is released. For a fairly cheap barcode scanner, this really works. Excellent workmanship, almost unlimited battery life on a single charge and excellent results. No errors (I don't know if these things ever make errors reading a barcode) and a range of about 10m before disconnecting. This also works with the supplied cable connected directly to the PC, but I don't have to try it. It installs itself on Windows 10, but it takes about 1 minute to detect and install the driver, which succeeded without any problems. Quality feel, bluetooth is great too and connects to my phone very quickly.
