1D Handheld barcode scanners are widely used devices that we often see in malls, supermarkets, and convenience stores. Friends in the barcode scanner industry know that, 1D barcode scanner can be divided into 'laser' and 'CCD'. Although both can scan barcodes, there are significant differences between them!
Scanning light:
-
The light emitted by the CCD scanner is a thick line (thicker in the middle and thinner at the ends). The further the scanner is from the barcode, the thicker the red line, and the lower the success rate of the scan.
-
The laser scanner emits a very thin and uniform laser line, and the reading ability of the laser gun is much stronger than that of the red light gun. The laser gun can scan barcodes from a distance, with high-performance laser scanners capable of scanning from half a meter away.
Scanning distance:
-
CCD scanners generally need to be very close to the barcode to scan it, and the maximum distance will not exceed 20 centimeters.
-
The scanning distance of a laser scanner can reach over 30 centimeters, while high-performance laser barcode scanner can reach 50 centimeters.
Scanning accuracy：
-
The CCD scanner has relatively low scanning accuracy.
-
The laser scanner has a relatively high scanning accuracy, so it can scan some finer barcodes, but the red light scanner cannot recognize them.
How to choose a barcode scanner?
For barcode scanning that does not require high standards, and in cases where the barcode is relatively thick and clear, a CCD barcode scanner can be chosen to reduce costs.
If the requirements for scanning efficiency are high and the barcode is quite detailed, then choose a laser barcode scanner, because only a laser scanner can read it.
