Sleek, compact, and affordable, the HP Presentation Barcode Scanner is a general purpose on-counter presentation scanner designed for maximum user comfort and counter space utilization, hands-free operation, and easy fixed-location scanning. Omni-directional bar code reader reads most common 1D and 2D barcodes for a range of flexible uses. The scanner automatically optimizes light levels to read bar codes from mobile devices, allowing retailers to accept onscreen coupons and loyalty offers that customers have received via e-mail or text message. Visual and audible good read confirmation of a barcode allows store associates to be confident in the accuracy of the transaction and focus on delivering an efficient customer experience. Get up and running quickly with easy, single USB cable connectivity (cable included) and software utility or barcode(s) setup. The tiltable, comfortable hands-free design allows associates to use the scanner in presentation scanning mode and occasionally switch to handheld use without slowing the transaction. Associates can use the scanner in a sweeping motion or present small items to the scanner. The reliable form factor is well-built for the wear and tear of retail environments and includes a fixed mounting plate that allows the scanner to be mounted to most surfaces to help decrease the likelihood of being dropped or knocked over on a counter.
