USB Fixed Mount Barcode Scanner | Hands-Free Countertop & POS Scanner with Screen Scan Mode

The USB Fixed Mount Barcode Scanner is a hands-free countertop scanning solution designed for retail checkout, point-of-sale terminals, conveyor belt scanning and any fixed-position operation where workers need both hands free. Unlike handheld scanners that require picking up and pointing, this scanner operates in automatic sense mode — it detects and reads barcodes the moment they pass the scan window, without any button press required. The dual scanning capability sets this apart from standard fixed scanners. Switch between scan window mode for standard barcode labels and screen scan mode for reading QR codes displayed on customer phones, tablets or screens — covering both physical product scanning and digital ticket or voucher scanning in the same device. Who is this scanner for? Retail checkout counters that need a fixed hands-free scanner. POS terminals in cafes, restaurants and hospitality. Conveyor belt operations in logistics and fulfilment. Libraries and asset management stations. Any fixed workstation where handheld scanning is inefficient or impractical. The automatic sense mode eliminates the need to press a button for each scan — items pass the window and scan instantly.
