These very popular barcode scanners read 1D barcodes which are the most common type of barcode. 1D is a linear barcode that uses lines of various widths and spaces to encode the data. Depending on the 1D barcode, it can only hold a limited amount of characters otherwise it gets too long.
2D scanners read both 1D and 2D barcodes and are more compatible with the latest generation, high capacity 2D barcodes, like QR Codes! Two-dimensional (2D) barcodes look like squares or rectangles that contain many small, individual dots. A single 2D barcode can hold a significant amount of information and may remain legible even when printed at a small size or etched onto a product.
Corded scanners are very popular and inexpensive. They communicate directly to a computer so they are often “plug and play” and easy to set up. They connect to the computer with an interface cable USB, corded PS/2 (keyboard wedge), corded and serial RS232.
