Differences between 1D (Linear) and 2D barcodes
A 1D scanner reads linear, one-dimensional barcodes, which are mostly commonly used in retail packaging. Any barcode scanner can read these codes, regardless of their type.
2D barcodes are more complex as they are organized vertically and horizontally. This allows these codes to hold much more information and take up less space than a 1D code. A specific reader is required to read properly.
To sum up, having a 2D barcode scanner should be preferred, as they can read both 1D and 2D barcodes. Another advantage of 2D scanners is that they can also read damaged or poorly printed barcodes.
Wireless Vs Corded barcode scanners
Depending on the application, a wireless barcode scanner in particular is great for small businesses looking to increase productivity and efficiency. They offer a lot more freedom to roam while staying connected to Bluetooth. It allows you to move the scanner around the inventor rather than bringing your inventory to your scanner. However, corded barcode scanners are useful when there is no need for mobility, for example, at store checkouts. They are usually cheaper to install and also easy to implement with clear, precise, and visible images.
