Barcode Reader/Scanner Module - CCD Camera - USB Interface

1203 - Barcode Reader/Scanner Module - CCD Camera - USB Interface

Description

Decode nearly any kind of 1D (striped) barcode in your project using this adorable compact barcode scanner. Weve looked all over for a small, light, low-power module that can be easily integrated. This OEM scanner has a little camera inside that takes 100 photos per second, instead of using a scanning mirror assembly. This means its less likely to get damaged or out of alignment.

This all in one module is the simplest we could find. On the end is just a USB cable, plug it into any computer (or microcomputer such as BeagleBone, Raspberry Pi, etc) and it will show up as an HID keyboard. When a barcode is scanned, the raw data is decoded, parity-checked and spit out as if they were typed on a keyboard.

Like all barcode scanners, you can do some basic configuration by powering it up and scanning in special barcodes in the manual. For example you can change the delay between typed characters, or what the terminating character, if any, should be. Check the download tab for the printable manual. If youd like to set up the scanner to be different than the default, print it out on plain white paper and scan each configuration code. The config will be saved to non-volatile memory so you only have to do it once.

This reader will read a wide variety of barcode standards. The most common ones such as CODE39 and UPC are supported out of the box. To enable some of the rarer standards, check the manual as you may have to scan configure to enable it.
