UniTech MS916 Reviews

POSGuys Rating:

After extensive testing of the MS916, we found that it could scan nearly every 1D barcode we could find, even our dirty and worn barcodes. Pairing the scanner was very easy using the 2 button to pair method. And while testing the 30' range we discovered that the scanner switched itself to memory mode when we were out of range and then uploaded the scans to our tablet once we were back in range! Even though the price point is higher than other pocket scanners, having the additional features of the 1" accuracy window, powerful scan engine and 2MB memory sets the MS916 above its competition.

Unitech MS916 Pocket Scanner Video

Hi, I'm April with POSGuys.com, and today I'm reviewing Unitech's MS916 Pocket Scanner. Some features I like about this is that it's Bluetooth. It also has a 1-inch viewing screen and it has great battery life. The 1-inch viewing screen is fantastic for checking the accuracy of your last scan, and it can also show you your battery life, which will last up to 8 hours. That means you can have it in your pocket while you're working throughout the day, and use it without having to go back to recharge it.

One of my favorite features is how it pairs quickly to any device. So I'll just turn it on, and then a 2 button pairing, so I push on the blue button and the down arrow, and it's already seeing the device. And we're connected!

The MS916 Pocket Scanner scans almost all 1D barcodes, and can even scan barcodes on badges. Most laser scanners have difficulty scanning in bright light. This one does not. And it will also scan on even mildly reflective backgrounds. You can also bring up a keyboard to type on by double clicking. By default, whenever you're within Bluetooth range the information will automatically go wherever the cursor is on your device. Once you step out of range, it will go in to memory mode, and then automatically dump the information back in when you get back in to range. If you know you're going to be out of range a long time, you can put your device into batch mode by scanning a barcode and then scan what you need to, and then you can transfer the data when you get back into range by scanning another barcode.

In the box, you're going to get your scanner, you will get your power adapter, that pops open like that. You'll get your microUSB and your wrist lanyard. In addition, you'll get barcode configurations that also include volume control, and if you want to have it on vibrate or not. The MS916 has lots of features that I really love. I really love the 2-button easy pairing to any iOS, Android, or Windows device. I also like the size, you can carry it in your pocket throughout the day, and with its 8 hour battery life, you can be scanning throughout the day without having to recharge it. In addition, I believe the thing that sets it apart the most is the 1-inch screen, so you can check for accuracy and check if you're paired and also check the battery life.

After trying really hard to find something we didn't like about the MS916, we did discover that it does not do the traditional batch scanning text file. Instead it will just automatically dump the information into whatever file you have open. The MS916 is a premium scanner, therefore it's going to have a higher price point than other pocket scanners. If you're looking for other scanners with maybe less functionality, but still good scan engines, you can go with Unitech's MS910 or MS912. This scanner and other pocket scanners are available at POSGuys.com. Thank you so much for watching!
