What is the difference between a supermarket scanning platform and a scanner?

There are many types of scanners. When choosing a scanner, we should choose a platform scanner or a normal scanner. I believe many people would like to ask what is the difference between a platform scanner and a normal scanner. Let's do it today. Platform scanners are compared to regular scanners.

(1) Different design, scanning platform is also called bar code scanning platform, which can be placed on the desktop in parallel. As shown in the FR40c scanning platform, most of them are often used in supermarket cash registers, etc., in order to free hands and speed up the cash register. And efficiency.

Ordinary scanners are roughly classified into wired handheld and wireless. Wired handheld barcode scanners are used to directly connect the scanner data cable to a computer terminal, and then start scanning the barcode with the scanner. As shown in the Vision, Alipay WeChat pays for handheld scanners.

Wireless bar code scanners have no data lines, and generally have a base. This base is mainly used to pair with the scanner and receive data. as the picture shows

(2) Different scanning modes, most of the scanning platforms support multi-line scanning and single-line scanning modes, and the scanning window of the scanning platform is larger than the ordinary scanning gun. We only need to bring the barcode close to the scanning window and gently shake it. Successfully reading barcodes is relatively easy.

The ordinary scanner, whether it is a wired handheld scanner or a wireless scanner, needs to carry a barcode scanner to scan the barcode. Each time you scan the barcode, you need to manually press the trigger button of the scanner. It will make users feel tired, but now due to the continuous upgrade of bar code scanner technology and the continuous transformation of the appearance of "ergonomics" design, many barcode scanners can also support self-sensing or long-light scanning mode, then with a scan The gun bracket is no different from the platform scanner.

The above is the main difference between the scanning platform and the ordinary gun. However, the selection of the barcode scanner can not only be considered from the above 2 points. The most important thing is to see the code system of the barcode you want to scan and whether your working environment has a scanner. What are the special requirements.
