Terminal Bar Code Scanners
These all-in-one devices both scan and store data and sometimes also run applications, allowing the user to roam freely. Elsewhere, you may see similar scanners referred to as "handheld scanners," "batch scanners," or "portable computers." Most terminal scanners are actually small computers, running on Palm, Pocket PC, DOS, or Linux operating systems
   
Many of the terminal scanners offered by IBF Group can use wireless technology to connect to a computer network. Others are "batch" scanners, which store the information gathered until physically connected to a computer system. Both types usually have a large display screen, so that applications or scanned data can be viewed as it is gathered.
   
IBF Group offers two different types of handheld scanners to meet your needs: the CCD imaging scanner and the laser scanner.

Select a Terminal Scanner Brand
Because terminal scanners are meant to be carried around, often in warehouses or other abusive environments, durability is an especially important factor. IBF Group selects the brands with the best quality, warranties, and support for our product lineup.

They provide data collection solutions for retailing, distribution logistics, parcel and post delivery, health care, education, manufacturing, and other industries.
