Handheld bar code reader Datalogic DBT6400

The Datalogic DBT6400 handheld bar code reader is a compact 2D imager designed for cordless use with Bluetooth-enabled devices. Lightweight and ergonomically shaped, it pairs with Android, Apple iOS and Windows Mobile devices as well as laptops equipped with Bluetooth. The scanner reads 1D and 2D barcodes — including QR Code, Data Matrix and Aztec — from printed labels, damaged or poorly printed codes and from mobile phone screens. It offers image capture, white illumination and a wide wireless range for flexible mobile scanning.

Advantages

The DBT6400 provides reliable reading performance on both printed and on-screen 1D/2D codes while maintaining a small, hand-friendly form factor and low weight (approximately 85 g). Bluetooth wireless connectivity enables quick pairing with multiple mobile platforms, and Batch Mode stores over 2,000 linear codes in memory for offline operation. Additional features include image capture capability and efficient aiming combined with white illumination for improved code detection.
