Tera Portable Back Clip Barcode Scanner 2D QR Wireless 3 in 1 2.4GHz Wireless & USB Wired & Compatible with Bluetooth Mini Pocket Bar Code Reader for Smartphones Android Mac OS Windows, 0013

This is a very light bar-code reader that’s fits comfortably into my hand. The USB cable for it us about 1.4m long. Plugging this into my laptop it worked immediately (no software to install etc). Pointing the reader at a barcode and pressing the trigger you see a red line on the surfaced you are pointing at, and positioning that over the barcode immediately reads it (confirmed by a beep) and the barcode value will go straight into whatever app you have open e.g., Word or Excel. I tried it from various distances and a range of angles, but the reader had no problem reading the barcodes. There is an instruction manual provided which contains several bar codes that allow you to change settings on the device just by scanning them e.g., switch to continuous mode which will scan all barcodes that you point the device at without needing to press the button for each one. While I do think that this is a great idea, it does mean that you need to have the instruction manual to hand to make changes (there are no buttons etc. on the device to do this). So if you are scanning multiple barcodes (within the range allowed by the cable) then this is a great option!

Wouldn't work their the DPD app but I'm sure it will work as intended

We use bar code scanners a lot in our factory, especially dispatch so I thought I'd check this unit out to see if it would be a suitable replacement for the ones from our current supplier. I gave it to our IT team and after some guffawing and scepticism they put it together and gave it a test. They were gobsmacked! It connects with a USB connection to a laptop or PC and when plugged in the OS saw the scanner straightaway and it was ready to use. No issues with scanning various bar codes, it accurately reported the EAN number each time and even when scanned multiple times simultaneously it still gave accurate results. The scanner can be set to trigger scan or continuous scan depending on it's use. The build quality of the scanner is good, lighter than our current units but it feels solid. The trigger to fire the scan is positive and it feels like it will not break after repeated use. Verdict: Other than the cable being quite short, no real issues to put our IT bods off this scanner. Connected straightaway and accurately reported the right codes. Price is competitive versus our current brand. Would recommend.

Start the laptop, open an Excel sheet, put the scanner plug into the computer, the scanner makes beep. Look for a barcode, press the button of the scanner, the number is in the current Excel cell. Look for another code, press again, number in next Excel cell. No rubbish mini CD, no software downloads, no apps, nothing. Just simple plug and play and do the job, and for that price, I am happy to have this scanner. That will be used to organise my Vine items, need to pack them into a shelf, and for finding them again quick a barcode will help. The product has anyhow one, and my shelf location gets another one. So always proper sorted. Cons? The cable is not long, and of course a cable and not bluetooth, so it is bound sort of to the location of the computer. I do not see in the text that it works with phones (Android, Iphone), but one image shows that it does. Not tested by me.

Built quality seems good but quality control is poor - was trying to scan a lot of barcodes and it took a long time to pick them up in perfect conditions - missed a lot of barcodes and wasted a lot of time rescaning them with my old reliable scanner. Great idea but would avoid! Thanks to Amazon and its return policy had my refund back in no time!

good for close use, but bad on distance. Lightweight

The Tera USB Wired Barcode Scanner is a reliable and efficient tool for any business that requires fast and accurate scanning of barcodes. The long-range feature is a definite plus, allowing users to scan barcodes from a distance without having to get up close to the item. The scanner is also very fast, making it ideal for high-volume scanning environments. The setup is easy, and the included USB cable ensures compatibility with most systems. The only downside is that the scanner is a bit bulky and heavy, which may make it uncomfortable for extended use. Overall, the Tera USB Wired Barcode Scanner is a great investment for any business that values speed and accuracy in their barcode scanning.

For some reason when I bought the scanner this add was for a different one, a classic one, not the one that is being advertised now. The one I have gotten for work works perfectly. Been using it for a few months now and had no issues with it
