This $99 IDAutomation Plug 'n Play USB Barcode Scanner can scan linear bar codes that are up to 3.8" (98 mm) wide from 3" to 5" away at 100 scans per second. This high quality, high performance scanner contains no moving parts, yet is lightweight and designed to fit comfortably in the hand for extended periods of usage. The CCD scan engine in this scanner can focus on smaller barcodes better than most lasers scanners and still read large barcodes. Common barcodes (10-12 mil) are best read with this scanner by pulling the trigger button when the scanner is about 3-4 inches (8-10CM) above the barcode. The Plug 'n Play scanner is ready to use out of the box in most situations. By default, the common barcode types such as Code 39, 128, UPC and EAN are enabled.
