Llego muy rapido, lo configure bastante fácil y todo fue felicidad, hasta que un mes después dejo de leer correctamente, y por más que lo reconfiguro, no funciona correctamente, honestamente es una decepción

Product works Great and Fast delivery

Muy buen producto a muy buen precio totalmente recomendable, muy atentos en el servicio y seguimiento del pedido asta su recepcion..

So far, so great! Was easy to assemble, plugged it into my Mac, and it was pretty much as easy as that. Shipping is now a breeze. Very pleased.

Great value. Prompt delivery.

The instruction book that comes with this amazing scanner is like a little "how to" guide for every kind of barcode known to man, worldwide, from UPC to the ubiquitous Code 39 standard. It literally teaches you how to program ANY format bar, if you know a little, simple coding. THIS SCANNER REQUIRES SOFTWARE-- from excel to quickbooks to home inventory, or even a free hosted solution (where you can enter your barcodes on a website) such as upcdatabase dot com.You have your choice of: 1. accepting the factory defaults (which are fine), 2. programming the unit with basic string instructions (basically F1/F2/F3 keys once you enter your command interface or character editor-- you have to know a little basic sdk/ dos/ ide stuff for this-- IOW, the command prompt or text editor, not just a window drag and drop GUI) or 3. Scanning in barcode representations (including creating your own!) that control the settings of the scanner. Very advanced, but a very cool feature if you're into a little coding. THIS DOES NOT support web or smartphone QR codes-- there are plenty of free ios and android apps on Amazon for those!Default output is a number string, so you CAN use it right out of the box with the majority of websites and inventory systems, or even excel. With either bartender or other software, or POS, or free online, you also can create your own "unofficial" inventory upc's to keep your own inventory system.Don't "bite" on websites that claim to assign you "official" upc codes recognizable worldwide. Those are only available from GS1 in the US, come in blocks of 100, and cost $750 to $900 for the first block! On the other hand, you can create your own for internal use free, and they will work fine with this scanner, and most other software. There also are code software programs that work WITH quickbooks and other accounting programs to either use or create upcs-- for example, using those for inventory you buy from other companies, and your own for internally created products.This is a great little scanner, even right out of the box, and I've tried it on XP, Vista, 7 and 8 with no driver problems. If auto scan fails on a bar or two, just rescan with the trigger and you'll do great. Highly recommended.

Arrived, assembled stand (which *was* as shown in the photo, though there's been a minor change in how the tilt head attaches to the upright so you have to skip one step in its assembly instructions), plugged in, and running. It has handled every barcode I've thrown at it so far without any configuration change.My scanner carries the brand name "Acan" -- and a serial number, which I wasn't sure I could expect in a cheap device. It does *not* actually have the standard laser safety label, but I'm presuming that it's a class IIIb laser, and the actual brightness at any one point is of course reduced by the fact that it's scanning, so I would assume the risk to eyes is minimal. But not zero; as with any laser, don't deliberately point it at anyone's eyes.Hands-free operation works fine for me. Lighting conditions and the contrast between what you're scanning and what it normally stares at may affect how reliably it notices that you're waving a barcode in front of it. If necessary, pulling the trigger always works.The book is a reference manual, not a tutorial. It's written for folks who understand at least the basics of configuring hardware devices, and the basics of how barcodes work. As such, it's a list of the available options rather than advice on which you might want to change under what circumstances. It's actually a pretty configurable/intelligent device; it can be set up to do some processing on the data (macro expansion, for example) before passing it along to the PC.The "keyboard wedge" technique of configuring it from the PC is rather odd, and I'm not sure I have it figured out or like it much. If I do find anything I need to change, I may need to do the scan-commands-from-the-book approach.One of the nice things -- for experts -- is that they do explain the structure of their barcode command sequences. If there's something you need to do that there isn't a preconstructed barcode for, this is probably enough documentation to print your own barcode with the appropriate command. I'm not sure there's enough documentation to let you easily write a program to send those commands.In general, laser scanning has plusses and minuses versus LED. Plus is that it will probably work over a wider range of distances (good if you need to zap things without pulling them off the shelf), since it provides itself with more light.Minus is that it probably won't read barcodes displayed on a screen -- if, like me, you like to keep your frequent-buyer codes on your palmtop rather than carrying physical cards, this scanner isn't going to read them as well as one based around an image chip. Also, laser is using a motor to spin the deflection prism that sweeps the beam across the barcode; theoretically, that may be more vulnerable to eventually wearing out... though given that this is made for commercial use, I would bet on it having a decent life. Especially in hands-free mode, where it will experience less mechanical stress than if you're waving it around and occasionally dropping it.Overall, I'm happy; compared to the "neutered" CueCat which I had been using, it's a lot more reliable and flexible and comfortable. Definitely worth the investment.Now I need to start scanning my library into a BookThing catalog...

I did significant research online prior to placing an order for this scanner, and for the price, you will find nothing better than this.SOME OBSERVATIONS:Ease of Use:I plugged it in and started scanning right after Windows installed drivers (about 5 seconds). Once used with the stand, you can scan 100's of items in minutes.Automatic Scanning/Shut Down:The laser will turn on and scan automatically when the sensor senses an object within about 2 feet of it. It also turns off the laser about 2 seconds after attempting to scan which I guess saves power and will also prevent the annoying laser from beaming constantly.Fast Scan Rate:Scans at a rate of 100 scans per second, which is normal from my research, and definitely adequate for a small business. It also conveniently makes a beep whenever it successfully scans a barcode.Awesome Stand:This stand is not the greatest, but something I consider complimentary given the price (I paid 35ish including shipping). It gets some weight from a piece of metal they provide which will need to be screwed into the stand at the bottom. It's an easy "job" that'll require just a screwdriver and 2 minutes of work. The weight may not be enough depending on how much movement there will be around it. For my purposes, it has worked just fine and has not fallen in the 2 weeks I have made use of it. The stand's maneuverability is not very good, but I think for most purposes, it will be adequate.Please let me know if you have any questions and I will try to answer them as I know I have not touched on every issue.
