2D Barcode Scanner, USB, 2.4G Wireless & Bluetooth

One scanner that connects three ways and keeps busy counters moving.

This handheld reader (model U20) connects over USB, 2.4G wireless, or Bluetooth, so it drops into POS, warehouse, logistics, office, and checkout setups without tying you to one platform. A CMOS image sensor (640x480) with white LED illumination reads 1D and 2D codes, including EAN-13, UPC, Code128, Code39, QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417, MaxiCode, and Aztec. It also reads codes off phone screens for payment and ticketing, and picks up low-contrast codes down to 15% printing contrast. With a 120 fps scan rate plus key-trigger, auto-sensing, and continuous modes, it keeps pace on packing lines.

Why we picked it

• Three ways to connect - USB, 2.4G wireless, and Bluetooth cover PCs, tablets, and mobile devices.
• Quick, accurate reads - CMOS imaging and 120 fps decoding handle 1D, 2D, and on-screen codes.
• Ready for the floor - IP54 dust and water resistance, tested to survive 1.5 m drops.

Good to know

The housing is ABS + PC and measures roughly 160 x 66 x 95 mm, with a 1.6 m straight USB cable. Depth of field: QR (15 mil) 30-210 mm, mobile QR payment codes 80-550 mm, Data Matrix (10 mil) 30-140 mm, EAN-13 (13 mil) 50-280 mm, Code 39 (8 mil) 30-190 mm, Code 128 (15 mil) 80-320 mm. LED and buzzer confirm each scan. It runs on DC 5 V +/-10% at about 350 mA, in 0-50 degrees C, 5-95% non-condensing humidity, and up to 5,000 Lux ambient light. Configure it by scanning the setup barcodes in sequence.

Common questions

Q: Does it read both 1D and 2D barcodes?
A: Yes. It handles 1D codes like EAN, UPC, Code128, and Code39, plus 2D codes such as QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417, MaxiCode, and Aztec, including ones on phone screens.

Q: How do I connect it?
A: Use the USB cable, the 2.4G wireless receiver, or Bluetooth, then scan the setup barcodes in the manual to pick your mode.

Q: Can it handle heavy daily use?
A: Yes. The IP54 rating, 1.5 m drop resistance, fast decoding, and shaped grip suit checkouts, stockrooms, and packing stations.

Q: Will it scan payment codes off a phone?
A: Yes. It reads mobile QR payment codes within the listed depth-of-field range.
