Printed labels, and they will stay printed
Bin labels, carton labels and shelf tickets you print yourself are 1D and are not about to change. Nothing about them needs a scanner that reads QR.
Cordless handheld · 1D imager
Zebra LI4278
Cordless, bars only. For a stockroom or a dispatch bench where nothing arrives as a QR code and the cable is the thing that keeps getting in the way.
Kit is the scanner, a USB cable and the cradle. The cradle charges it, and pairing is one scan of the barcode on the cradle itself.
Why this one
Cordless, without paying for 2D.
The cordless 2D scanner on this site is the DS2278 at $350. This is the one to buy when you want the freedom and genuinely never need the square codes.
01
02
It goes to the pallet
Which is the whole reason for cordless. The scan happens at the rack rather than at a bench, and the count actually finishes.
03
Know what you are giving up
If your suppliers start putting DataMatrix on cartons - and they are - this scanner cannot follow you there. The DS2278 can, for eleven dollars more.

Warranty
3 years, return to base — the unit comes back to us for repair or replacement rather than somebody coming out to you. Warranty runs by model rather than by price, so it is worth checking against whatever else you are comparing.
01
In stock in Australia, and it ships straight to you
Every scanner on this site is held in an Australian warehouse rather than on a shelf in Sydney, and it goes from there to your door without stopping at our office. That saves a leg of freight and a day. Paid before 2pm on a business day and it generally leaves the same day.
02
Stock is first come, first served
Which is the honest half of the sentence above. A run on one model can mean a wait, and you will hear that from us when you ask rather than after you have paid.
03
Tell us the part number and how many
That is genuinely all we need. You get a written quote back with freight worked out to your actual address, because a scanner to Parramatta and one to Port Hedland are not the same delivery and we would rather not pretend otherwise. A new account pays before it ships, and the clock starts when the payment confirms.
04
Been comparing online? Send us the quote
If you have a written quote from somebody else on the same part number, we will match it. No haggling required, and no need to pretend you have not been looking.

Not sure this is the right one?
Tell us what you are scanning and where. Thirty-five years of these conversations says the answer is usually simpler, and cheaper, than it looks from the inside.
