ScanAvenger 1D and 2D Portable Wireless Bluetooth Barcode Scanner: 3-in-1

Really impressed with this. Firstly it feels well made, and setting up is a doddle. Initially I used the supplied USB cable (printer style at the scanner end, so does not fall out easily) - then moved to the Bluetooth dongle when at last I found it (in a tiny blue bag stapled to the scanner packaging, that I'd put in the bin). Charging if through the USB cable of course. Connecting to Bluetooth was just a matter of using the barcodes printed in the instructions. Don't lose those instructions, as contains the barcodes for lots of other settings, e.g. turning the beep on/off. It works as a USB keyboard - the computer knows no difference. So on my Linux computer, I simply opened up a text editor (see video) and the barcodes and QR codes appeared. What you do with them is entirely up to the software you are using - so presumably, to enter in a code, you'll first need to have the focus on wherever the code is to be entered - just like entering by hand on a keyboard. That also means it's perfect for producing your own barcodes, then entering them into e.g. a spreadsheet - say if you want to produce tickets for an event, and have per-seat codes. All very nice. Overall, a very useful and high quality item.

We got this scanner in order to scan the ISBNs of our large personal library and bulk-load them into the LibraryThing software . It is a very well built piece of kit at an extremely affordable price tag. More importantly, since it's a "wedge" scanner, meaning that it's seen by a computer as a keyboard device, it really does work with any computer you have. Im running Mac and It was pretty much plug and play. It works great, has a long range, long charge life and easy to operate. This unit is perfect, most other places in the uk are selling these 2D scanners for $250 or more, this unit does the same thing for so much less. I needed to scan barcodes for Express bags as well which I found out have a lot of numbers at the start and end of the QR code, the tracking number was placed in the middle. In conclusion for an extremely affordable price tag you really cant go wrong! PROS: - Ergonomic. Very comfortable to hold. - Switchable vibration, audible tones for code scan confirmation. - Affordable! CONS: - Sometimes you have to get close to scan the barcode - No stand

This the 2nd ScanAvenger barcode scanners I have looked at today. This SA8800 series is the top of the range when it comes to their scanner. The materials used for sa8800 are slightly better than the ones used for sa9100. Also, the optimisation on the sa8800 is a bit better. What this means is that the 8800 series has slightly more optimised reading engine and battery performance – that is the techy stuff over and done with. It came very nicely packaged in a smart looking retail box and inside you get the Scanner itself, USB Bluetooth Dongle, USB-A to USB-B cables, QuickStart Guide, Troubleshooting Plastic Card, Scan Avenger Quick Codes, and Instructions. I went for connect it to my Samsung Galaxy Tab s7+ using Bluetooth and I had no issues in setting it up. I had put together a little Excel spreadsheet to see how it performed and it did a good job. One feature I liked was the fact that it did the "Return" part as well. So, the cursor was on the next cell down. It was quick at recognising the code, even from a distance. I am not an expert by any means when it comes to these types of things, but this is light, cable free, quick, and scanned codes with few errors. I really liked the fact that it could be connected to a tablet or mobile phone, if you are going to be out of the 150m range of a PC/Laptop. It also handles both 1D and 2D. I also phone the design/look of this one to be a bit more premium. You would not mind having this on your counter. Overall, I think this is an excellent piece of kit. Accurate, 3-0way connectivity and slightly stylish. I hope you found this review & photos interesting, informative, and useful. Thanks for reading. NB. For a sizing guide, squares in photos are 1cm.

this is a portable bluetooth scanner, it could scan both 1d and 2d barcode, it supports major type of product barcodes, like upc, ean, code 39, 128, also 2d barcodes, however, the user manual didn’t came with a full list of all supported barcode, may have to contact cs before using it for a not listed barcode type it’s a full sized handheld scanner, ergonomic design, very comfortable to use, response is quick, also scan is accurate good connectivity, it could be connected to pc and mobile devices with bluetooth, 2.4ghz dongle or usb cable; also it could either used as input device (print the bar immediately) or scan and store device, it has 16mb built in storage, that could store up to 100000 barcode before data upload is needed it’s rechargeable, one fully charge could scan 60000 barcodes, it’s more than enough even for warehouse use i’m very satisfied with this product, would recommend

Excellent product and even better customer service. Just bought my 2nd scanner

Tras dos dias de uso lo veo muy interesante, su diseño, su calidad y su forma de leer los codigos tanto en papel como en pantalla de movil. Es muy buen lector, a ver si la empresa hace algun soporte o base para poderlo dejar cuando no se trabaja con el. Para mí os lo recomiendo, espero que siga asi durante años funcionando igual que el primer dia

I had a problem with a couple of units that had poor fitting USB cables. I reported them just to let the company know their might be a problem. They reported back that they had never seen this problem before and requested more info. All of their communications were very prompt and courteous and the matter was very satisfactorily handled by ScanAvenger . All units now work great! I will definitely be buying from them again!

As a employee with the worlds largest supply chain company, I am constantly traveling to help our distribution sites and 3PL sites with new warehouse openings, special projects, and physical inventories. The scan avenger is a invaluable tool. It is light and easy to use. Its ability to scan different types or barcodes and 3D barcodes is a key as many of our customers use different barcode formats. Its wireless capability gives me the flexibility to scan from a forklift and ladder quite a good distance from the laptop I use. I recently had a battery issue with the scanner after a few years of having this scanner. The customer service at Scan Avenger were excellent. They resolved my issue immediately! Very Happy with this product!!

My new favourite equipment for ICT asset management. Works well with my iPhone and my laptop and the screen scanning is perfect. I honestly cannot express how happy I am with this scanner at this price point. Recommending to all my fellow sysadmins just the add to their service bags.
