Datalogic QBT2400 Barcode Scanner

BriantspuddleSh — Thu, 06 Aug 2020 17:39:14 GMT

Hello Our Volunteer run Community Shop has been using Sqaure Terminal for a while and we have just upgraded to a Square Stand with Ipad, Cash Drawer. printer and Barcode Reader.

We could not get one of the Sqaure Compatible Wireless readers and have been sold (not by Sqaure) a data logic QBT2400 RF/Bluetooth/USB Scanner. We where told that it would be compatible by Barcode Warehouse but I cannot get it to be recognised by the Square Stand. When iPad not in Stand it can read the barcode and send them to notepad or into some Square POS fields. I would be happy to have it working either via USB or Bluetooth. Has anyone had any experience with this reader or can suggest where I may have gone wrong in settings.

Many thanks

David

@BriantspuddleSh I’ve had a quick Google, & while the scanner supports BT pairing with iOS it doesn’t seem to support the standard iOS mode (like the little socketscan barcode scanners).

I think if I were in your position (& not wanting to mess around for ages) then I’d return the scanner to the seller with some feedback for them 😉

It’s towards the bottom but there is a list of tested barcode scanners on this page linked below - if you’re cost aware then it’s worth checking ebay as they can often be picked up for a fraction of the RRP new/nearly new.

Sorry I can’t be more help with the scanner you’ve got though!
