Looking for stationary barcode reader

mattrazzo — Mon, 17 Feb 2020 15:22:51 GMT

I see the list of compatible hardware (

I'm looking for a fixed block unit for a retail location. Just a box that sits on the check stand. Is there possibly a model that is made by Honeywell or Zebra that would be compatible?

I purchased a Zebra DS9208 from Amazon for use with my Square Register. It hooked up and worked no problem. The employees much prefer it to the Symbol LS2208 hand gun barcode scanner. It does a much batter job reading barcodes and speeds up the work flow drastically!

Thank you so much! I bought an off-brand one and it didn't work. I thought before I buy another one, I'd narrow the choices. Thank you! I wish Square would just list this as a valid choice.
