Socket 8Qi Series 8 CHS Bluetooth Rugged Phone-Attached Linear Imager (1D) Barcode Scanner

SOCKET 8QI BARCODE SCANNER

The CHS 8Qi is the second model in the progression of the CHS Series 8 cordless barcode scanners which are attachable to most smartphones enabling one-handed professional barcode scanning. The 8Qi is also suited for Mobile Ticketing and high-end retail environments where 2D barcodes are gaining popularity for security and data capacity.

Approximately the same size as a credit card measuring less than ½ inch (1.27cm) thick and weighing less than two ounces (48g), the CHS 8Qi is the smallest and lightest 2D barcode scanner available in the market today. It can be attached to most smartphones including the Apple iPhone®, iPod touch® and Samsung® S4 devices in a “sled type” configuration solution. The 8Qi slips neatly into your pocket and fits comfortably in the palm of your hand when attached to a smartphone. You can add a lanyard or belt clip for a wearable solution making the 8Qi accessible at any time.

It reads all of the most popular 1D & 2D barcodes and is perfect for retail point of sale, inventory management, sales order entry, field service, and other mobile business applications.
