What kind of barcodes do you want to read?
- If you are looking for a reader that is intended to read EAN or Code39 codes, for example, the 1D barcode reader will do the job.
- For reading QR codes and codes like data matrix, you should choose a 2D barcode reader. It is also possible to read 1D barcodes with this reader.
- The reading distance of a barcode depends on the type of barcode, its size and the reader's features. The theoretical reading distance for different barcodes is usually given in the product brochure of the device.
