I own this and it's been great but now I also need to be able to scan QR codes. Can this read QR codes?

I never tried. Nothing in the instructions say it can read 2d codes. It is just a routine bar code scanner (for virtually all linear type barcode codes). But it does work great for that.

I believe this is strictly a barcode scanner... so you can scan the item you got, giving yourself the barcode... After that, you would need an independent program to compare that to prices and get information. Do they have those?? Maybe!!

That would depend on your scanner. The device has to recognize cable for what it is. It's basically a NICE and your device would have to have built in drivers for it like a PC in order allow the cable to do its job.

the scanner itself is not the issue, but rather you must have some knowledge of scanning software. Any scanning software that you like can be used with this. You can scan from photo software, video software etc. It has nothing to do with this particlular scanner. With any scanner that you buy, you will have to learn how to use scanning software.

Very good question.. I just tried it and it scanned my license flawlessly! Hope that helps.

I bought the unit but haven't used it as yet. My friends tell me that they can scan almost anything, including old photos that are bent. Should do checks just fine.

You can scan pictures and depending on the size of the picture being scanned, it can work perfectly HOWEVER the picture will be bent by the roller. If the paper the picture is printed on can withstand being bent by the roller, you're good ... but a lot of photo stocks won't withstand it. I figure here than anything 4 x 6 or smaller scans very well. Anything larger than that, I use my flatbed scanner.

You bet it can! I use it for all my sales receipts, warranties, insurance documents, etc. If you're concerned about the size of a receipt, then have no worries. Just place it on the far left and it will go through straight. I've scanned business cards, labels from items I've bought, etc. I honestly don't know what I'd do without this wonderful home scanner. Hope this helps.

Yes, and from iPhone too. The scanning feature stopped working almost immediately though.

The printer part of the device just died. Your scanner and card reader will continue to work, but that heralds the end of the printer itself. I've had two die that way. (I actually keep one around for the scanner).

Didn't try that application, but I can not imagine that would work well, the item is not easy to get a simple image to scan correctly. I would not recommend it for that purpose.

Hi, I used my iPhone to take pictures of barcodes of items I had and tried to use this scanner to read those pictures off my iPhone screen a few times. It did not work for me. I don't know why.

I have that software on my computer so when I scan and import it works. Are you wanting to use the printer as a stand alone unit that would scan something, process by ocr, and print it out without going through a computer? I don't think it would do that.....

No. The scans are low-quality. It doesn't even do a decent job with print. The color is not accurate in scanning or in printing. Go with a different model.

Yes you can use it to scan your photos and the resolution is wonderful, colors are exact and very crisp. Great scanner.

I think it will for many (most?) barcodes. I scanned several ISBNs from book covers, library barcodes, and the barcode on an airlines boarding pass (the record locator printed, which was letters rather than a number). I really like this barcode reader.

I wish I could help but I gave it to my grandchildren at Christmas and it wont scan things. I tried to get it replaced but no one was willing to help me so they still have a gift that wont work. Hope you have better luck than I had.
