Is it Possible to Convert a Corded Barcode Scanner to a Cordless-Wireless Bluetooth Scanner?
Barcode scanners come in several different formats. Some are fixed mount scanners which are typically seen in grocery stores where the scanner is fixed mounted to the checkout till counter and the clerk simply scans the grocery items past the scanner, where it picks up the barcode and reads it. Another type of scanner is the handheld scanner which can be used similarly to the fixed mount scanner by using a scanning dock which allows clerks to pass items underneath the scanner to scan them. Clerks can also take the scanner out of the scanning dock and point the barcode scanner at the item being scanned such as for example in the case of buying a large bag of dog food that would not be easy to scan using a fixed mounted scanner. These handheld barcode scanners are available both in wired models which support multiple interfaces such as the USB interface, as well as in wireless models which do not require any wiring. Typically, the wireless version of a scanner is much more expensive thou
