CipherLab 2504 Barcode Scanner (A2504S2BSU001)

The CipherLab 2504 is a corded, business-rugged handheld 2D imager scanner – it reads all common 1D and 2D barcodes, including QR codes, from paper labels as well as phone screens. Part of CipherLab's business-rugged 2500 series, it is IP65 sealed against dust and water jets and withstands multiple 1.8 m drops onto concrete – a reliable choice for retail checkouts, receiving and shipping, inventory checks and work-in-process tracking. This version, A2504S2BSU001, is the USB kit: it is supplied with a USB cable – plug it into your PC or POS system and start scanning; it is powered via USB, so no power supply is needed.
