Additional Information On Omni Barcode Scanners
Unlike handheld barcode scanners, omni-directional barcode scanners provide a faster, more accurate, and more advanced way to send customers through the checkout line. There are three main types of Omni-directional barcode scanners: standard Omni-directional Barcode Scanners, In-Counter Barcode Scanners & Scanner/Scales, and Barcode 2D Imagers. Each scanner type offers different features and functionality, accommodating the various needs of retailers.
POSGuys.com carries a wide variety of omni barcode scanners from major manufacturers including Motorola, Honeywell, and Datalogic. If you find you would prefer a more traditional retail barcode scanner, they are available on our barcode scanner page. Industrial barcode scanners are available for more demanding applications.
Barcode 2D Imagers:
High volume 2D barcode scanners offer the efficient and aggressive scanning of 2D imagers but designed for stationary, presentation-style scanning. These barcode scanners have advanced optics, allowing them to read damaged or dirty barcodes more easily than laser scanners. With the added capability of scanning smartphone screens and parsing driver's license data, a high 2D volume 2D barcode scanner gives you the option of mobile couponing or easy customer loyalty signup/lookup.

Omni-Directional Barcode Scanners:
Omni-directional barcode scanners offer similar scanning to laser barcode scanners, ensuring quick reads from a variety of angles. A prism inside the scanner spins at a high speed, rasterizing or multiplying the beam into varying patterns. The multiplied beam allows you to scan barcodes at nearly any orientation, speeding up the scanning process. These omni barcode scanners are available in on-counter and even handheld designs.

In-Counter Barcode Scanner & Scanner/Scales:
Ideal for the high-volume scanning you see at major grocery stores, hardware stores, or chain department stores, in-counter barcode scanners and combo scanner/scales are designed to be the tanks of the barcode scanner industry. Their advanced optics and high-powered laser scanners ensure the incredibly fast reads required when ringing up numerous products. A built-in scale allows for bulk item sales or sales by weight, terrific for produce, deli meats, or anything that might not have a barcode on it. These barcode scanners are built into your counter, however, so you may want an additional cordless barcode scanner for added mobility.
