Can this scanner read barcodes from smartphone screens such as an iPhone, Galaxy S5, etc.?

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.

Once you program the tag it will work on any phone that can read those specific tags. I have a Galaxy S4 and Note 3 and both can read tags programmed with the S4.

Yes, it is capable of scanning and can clear the codes. You will need software with those features on the device that you pair the scanner to. I'm using Torque Pro on my Android phone or tablet.

It actually can. However you need to acquire a Software Development Kit (SDK) compatible with this scanner (there are many out there) and then you can create your own custom applications.

It should work because it has bluetooth connection but the scanner has many issues connecting to any device. It takes many tries in order to establish a connection.

yes it does, but not necessary for scanning. it will automatically scan when pointed at bar codes.

Yes it will. This is a great mobile scanner. I haven't had any problems with it.

Simple answer: NO. More complicated answer: Yes, but only if the Android or iOS device will work with a -WIRED- USB keyboard. The reason for this is that barcode scanners like this work basically like a keyboard. If you open a text editor and then scan something, it behaves as though you keyed the the barcode in and hit return. This device does not have any bluetooth capability and you must use the 2.4Ghz wireless USB dongle.

I have an iphone 5 not the 5s so can't really answer your question, but I doubt it.. I don't think the scanner finger print thing can go through the aluminum button and read your finger print

no, square credit card reader can only be use with iphone, ipad, android phone and tablet. This is just a regular simple register. You cannot use barcode scanner or any credit machine with this register.

Not exactly. One touch opens the scanner software that came with it. Once it's open, it's one touch to scan.

Sir, I did some quick checking on your question.The short answer is no. I found a 2D scanner here at amazon you may want to consider. Here is the link...Metrologic Focus MS 1690-Omnidirectional, 1D/2D, Pre-owned, good condition, tested. Reads poorly printed or damaged barcodes. Black and USB.paste that link into your address bar to see the scanner listing.Regards,John. webmaster@surf-rite.com

I doubt it. It was designed for smart phones. Your scanner is most likely too big.

Hello. I just tried it and it did scan a bar code off of a computer screen.

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

We do not use it on QR barcodes. My understanding of QR barcodes is that they can only be accessed by a mobile phone that has a camera. But you would have to ask the manufacturer for the most accurate answer. Maybe the scanner can be programmed to do this using the computer that has a camera.

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.
