Handheld barcode reader QOLTEC 50866 — 1D laser scanner, USB wired, 600 mm range, black, 161.5×88×77 mm

The Qoltec 50866 is a handheld 1D laser barcode reader designed for efficient and reliable scanning in retail, warehouse and office environments. The wired USB connection with a 1.8 m cable provides flexibility during work, while durable ABS/PC/PVC housing and a lightweight construction (0.18 kg) ensure comfortable everyday use. The scanner reads linear barcodes such as Code 39 and is suitable for reading codes from labels as well as from LCD and mobile phone screens.

Advantages

The device reads 1D codes at a speed of up to 500 scans per second and supports scanning at different angles, including inverted codes. It is drop-resistant (tested to 1.5 m), includes audible confirmation to indicate successful reads, and uses a CCD-protected window for increased durability. The plug & play USB interface enables immediate operation without additional software installation.

How to use

Connect the Qoltec 50866 to a computer or POS terminal via the USB plug; the device is recognized automatically and requires no additional drivers.

Listen for the audible signal to confirm a successful read.

Recommendations

Use the scanner within the specified working distance (up to 600 mm) and avoid exposing the CCD window to sharp impacts or strong solvents. For reliable results on glossy or backlit screens, adjust the angle slightly and ensure the screen brightness is sufficient. Store the device dry and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
