Series ES201 Super Mini Multi Functional USB Barcode Scanner High Speed

This little scanner is really tiny - the black box part is just slightly bigger than a quarter in dimensions. It does work, but it can not scan long bar codes or very small bar codes. Long bar codes require the unit to be too far away to be able to capture the entire bar code image, and the scanner intensity is not bright enough to reflect back to the unit. Bar codes that are very small simply don't get read properly, where a desk PC scanner will resolve the bar code correctly. With that said, this unit will scan almost all commercial bar codes (ISBN, UPC, etc), and so it is useful. You can't expect extreme performance from a unit that is this small.I had hoped that I could get a cable that adapts the USB A male to an Android micro USB port and then scan items using an Android phone or tablet. Unfortunately, there is no driver available to do this. The company does sell a mini-Bluetooth scanner, but that unit is much more expensive $100+. So, when I'm on the road, I will be using this scanner with my Windows notebook, not my Android phone.

I recently purchased 25 Ecom ES201. This LiDE's most important features is that it is compatible with all versions of OS, and the fact that it is powered through the USB 2.0 cable, meaning no power supply to carry around or finding a place to plug in, a plus for use with a notebook computer, tablet , smartphoneAfter following the directions for installation, installing the drivers before plugging the scanner into the computer or tablet, everything went flawlessly, and the first time the scanner was plugged in.If you're looking for a scanner portatil, Ecom ES201 is it .

The range is too short. Maximum scanning distance from barcode seems to be about 4-inches. The distance is even less for smaller barcodes. This means you have to keep adjusting the position to the perfect distance in order for it to work.

Worked great and was able to mount in a very small space. Perfect for my project.

I've purchased several barcode scanners, and this has proven the most useful so far... I needed to read small barcodes in a confined space, and this is perfect! And just FYI...it does come with a USB extension cable.

Item deliver as promised, a little hard to get it setup and working

Hubby uses this often and it works great!

works ok. sometimes it's hard to scan

Funciona bien pero es muy pequeño
