The bluetooth scanner can be paired with a smartphone or a tablet and is a good choice if you want to be mobile but don't need a big investment.

Bluetooth connections are suitable for maximum 30 feet (10 meters) so you will have to scan products nearby the computer station.

Zebra TC21

Mobile Computer Scanner

For heavy use, the mobile computer scanner is the handiest solution. It consists in a small computer with a built-in barcode scanner.

This one can turn out to be a very productive solution. Go for it if you want to scan products at different locations.

The most recent models using Android + Google Chrome should do the job.

Due to the variety of models and configurations on the market, it is essential to test it first.

However, we recommend the Zebra product line and more precisely the TC2x and TC7x series.

Odoo supports most USB and Bluetooth barcode scanners (as they all emulate a keyboard). Just make sure when you buy it that the scanner is compatible with your keyboard layout or can be configured to be so. We've tested a few devices for you:

For label printers, we recommend the Zebra ZD410 as we support ZPL protocol for automatic printing from POS.
