Datalogic QuickScan QBT2131 Bluetooth 1D Barcode Scanner
The Datalogic QuickScan QBT2131 is a cordless 1D linear imager barcode scanner, built with an extra-wide field of view and extra-long scan line that makes reading long barcodes at closer distances noticeably easier than a standard imager. This matters for applications like utility bills, document processing, and packaging, where long barcodes often exceed the narrow field of view of a typical full-area imager. Bluetooth Wireless Technology lets the scanner transmit data through its charging base or connect directly to any Bluetooth-compliant device, including tablets running iOS or Android via the Bluetooth HID profile. A user-replaceable lithium-ion battery can be swapped without tools, and the design allows simultaneous replacement of the battery and charging contacts, extending the scanner’s working life. Datalogic’s “Green Spot” technology gives visual good-read feedback, useful in noisy retail or warehouse environments where an audible beep alone isn’t always noticed. Rated IP42 for dust and splash resistance and able to survive 1.5m drops, the QBT2131 is built for daily handling in retail and warehouse settings.
