Handheld bar code reader Datalogic CODiScan

The Datalogic CODiScan is a lightweight wearable handheld bar code reader designed for industries that require hands-free or single-hand operation. Weighing 44 g and supporting 1D and 2D codes, CODiScan offers both wired and wireless connectivity (including Bluetooth) and a robust LED sensor for reliable scanning in Warehousing, Retail, Transportation & Logistics, and Manufacturing environments. The device has an IP54 rating, a 640 mAh battery for extended operation, and is engineered to integrate with mobile devices and fixed hosts using Datalogic's Aladdin app and Gateway Connect.

Advantages

CODiScan combines a very light form factor with long battery life and multi-protocol scanning (1D/2D). Its Green Spot feedback, audible signals and three high-visibility LEDs provide immediate good-read confirmation from multiple angles. The modular design includes a multifunctional trigger key and washable glove compatibility, reducing the need for multiple models and lowering total cost of ownership. Fast charging and multiple charging options reduce downtime, while software tools simplify pairing and configuration.

How to use

Attach CODiScan to the preferred body location (hand, neck, belt or pocket) so that hands remain free for handling tasks. Use the multifunctional key or configurable trigger to start scanning; the smart aiming system and Green Spot provide immediate feedback when a barcode is read. Pair the device to an Android host via the Aladdin app or connect multiple units to a fixed computer using Gateway Connect. Recharge the unit using the provided charger or charging cradle; a full charge takes about two hours.

Recommendations

For best results, select the wearing position that keeps the scanner stable during movement and allows a clear line of sight to barcodes. Clean the glove and separate trigger as recommended to preserve accessory life. Use the Aladdin app for initial configuration and Gateway Connect for stable multi-device connections to fixed hosts.
