Will this scanner have trouble scanning barcodes through clear plastics or potato chip bags ?

I have had no problem scanning through clear plastic wrap. I have not had a chance to try scanning through a potato chip bag but I suspect it would not work as the bar code must be viewable and readable for the scan to work.

I have found that it will not scan through plastic. It is supposed to be able to scan through glass but I have never had occasion to do so. Potato chip bags? Why???

It will definitely will scan through clear plastic bags, I own a retail shop (divideboardshop.com) and all of our products come in clear plastic bags I have scanned in hundreds of products through these bags.. I absolutely love this scanner!!! you can scan things a couple feet away too.. its really good, and the people over at socket are great people, super helpful.. they definitely have my business for life!

I would say yes. I am using a short ext cord on a scanner and everything is working fine. Make sure the ext cord is the right size to handle the load.

Can you see the red laser lights when it tries to scan? If not then make sure that the USB port works. You can try it on a different computer. If you see the laser light, try a different barcode. It can have problems with very reflective surfaces such as plastics, por it works flawlesly on matte surfaces such as cardboard or paper.

yes, it will scan tracking numbers in to a pc perfectly fine out of the box. ... we have about 10 of them in use throughout our production floor, it will scan any 1d bar code, it will not scan 2d bar codes.

Not familiar with scanner technology. I bought mine for a digital camera. Sorry

I have used it to scan in some photos and they turned out well. I think it would depend upon the type whether you wanted to run them through or not, such as old family photos, etc.

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.

You can scan pretty much anything, but you need to be sure that the scanned object is firmly placed and immovable.

We've been using the scanner that came with the register, and we have several thousand barcoded items loaded in. I have not had any problems with its function, but you do need to hold the scanner close to the barcode and give it time to pick up, a second or so. Some items with wrinkled wrappers where the code is may need a little work, but I haven't run across any items that wouldn't scan at all.

If it scans it with a barcode with a laser, no. If it's the kind where you just tap and go I believe it would.

I have this scanner and it will only do 35mm negatives. It does a pretty good job considering that this scanner is pretty cheap.

I believe it should scan any barcode you might have. It connects through Bluetooth if I remember correctly. It comes with a USB attachment for a wireless connection option as well. Doesn't work well for mobile devices though since unless you resolve the keyboard conflict.

Yes it will. I have really enjoyed my scanner. Very easy to take with you in this case

Yes, as long as the magazine pages are 8.5 x 11 or smaller they will go through the scanner fine. I love my Doxie and use it every day at my office.

No! Here's a link to Honeywell page that cross-references scanners with supported barcode types. https://www.honeywellaidc.com/Permanent/Symbologies.pdf

As a non-techie, I believe that it will scan any flat object but with the same light/dark contrast issues, so some of your fabric patterns might scan well, while other might scan poorly.
