Overview

The BlackCopper BC560 is a 2D hands-free desktop barcode scanner that wakes automatically, reads 1D, 2D and on-screen codes from any angle and plugs straight into a POS by USB.

Its infrared sensor detects items and phones as they approach, so cashiers simply present products to the large round window – no trigger, no aiming. The 640 × 480 CMOS imager reads faded, damaged and mobile-screen codes with ±60° skew and pitch and full 360° roll, while the soft LED light stays comfortable for staff and shoppers all day.
