NetumScanBluetooth CCD Bar Code Scanner with Stand, 3-in-1 Handheld Automatic 1D Barcode Reader Barcode Scanner for Computer, Tablet, iPhone, iPad, Android

Low cost. Just plug it into a USB drive and you can read barcodes on paper or on a screen. I had mine putting info into an XL spreadsheet within 5 minutes of opening the box. I checked paper barcodes, laptop screens and phone screens; all can be easily read. The device also comes with a manual that allows for simple reconfiguration, like what character it uses after scanning. This made it very easy to switch between return (moving 1 cell down) versus tab (moving 1 cell to the right).The only negative is the stand is unnecessary for my applications. I'd guess that this device is marketed for low-rate users like me. If you were a retail outlet, you would probably buy a higher-end model. For this market, a stand is not work the weight and storage requirements.

Works well as a trigger scanner, but can't get it to work in auto scan mode.

It works great as a hand held scanner but to use the stand that comes with it so all you have to do is put a bar code under it and have it scan automatically.... not so good. First of all it has a constant beam shinning down and then it erroneously will enter data when there is no barcode under it.

This scanner is not compatible with Square register. It will work with the online dashboard on a desktop or laptop for entering GTIN, however, it won't be recognized as a device with the Square register. Otherwise would have been the best value on the internet, hands down.

This works perfect for a beginner or any kind of scanning needed.
