All about iPad Barcode Scanners

When it comes to choosing a barcode scanner to connect or pair with your iPad & iOS device, you will need to think Bluetooth.

There are no ports available to plug a USB Barcode Scanner into your iPad so the Bluetooth is the best option to get your POS System up and running.

There are many different brands and models of iPad Barcode Scanners on the market but the most common and leading options come down to Zebra (Motorola) and Socket Mobile. We have found that the Socket range of scanners are the best to use with iOS (iPad) as they are compact, ergonomically & aesthetically designed and most importantly, super reliable! There are many colours to choose between so you can match it to your decor and it also makes it easier to match each coloured barcode scanner to the particular device being use if you have more than one in your business.

If you are connecting your barcode scanner to an iOS device, you must also check with your point of sale (POS) Software vendor to ensure you use the compatible barcode scanner with their application. They normally have a list available with recommended hardware.

There are two main iPad Scanners. 1D & 2D options are available depending on your requirements.
