Alacrity 2D 1D Bluetooth Barcode Scanner,QR Datamatrix PDF417,3in1 Bluetooth 2.4G Wireless USB Wired Handheld Bar Code Reader,Capture Barcodes from Mobile Phone Screen,with Vibration Function,6708DB

Bought 3 of these for my office, and they were delivered to me quickly. Upon checking the manual, i noticed that the barcodes for adding a suffix to each scan was missing, so I contacted their customer service via email. They are located overseas, so I did not receive a reply until the next day. However, they were extremely helpful and supportive, and resolved my issue within a couple of emails. They provided me a single barcode to scan, which added the entire suffix to the scanners, as opposed to some other models, which requires the scanning of multiple barcodes to achieve the same result. This made programming the 3 guns a breeze, and we have been up and running since.By default, this shows as a USB keyboard and when scanning something will input the text and then hit enter. I found that the instruction booklet had a code to enable serial, which I did. I have my Raspberry Pi reading this via serial using a custom build interface cable and the RXD UART GPIO input. Obviously this is probably not what other people are doing with it but it's pretty robust and not to difficult to convert to a serial reader. I did have problems with the carriage return character while using serial, but luckily there was a code to scan to disable that too! Lots of scannable codes to turn various features on and off.

Brought to try and use with vend . . Unable to have reader send information from barcode to vend stock systems. Looked a nice bit of kit seemed a tad bit tricky to set up

Perfect wireless scanner for at work. Handy that I can use it anywhere in the building. Decent battery life. Easy upload of data.
