The Element P100-AM Anti-microbial 2D Handheld Barcode Scanner is a corded USB 2D imager built for hygiene-sensitive, scan-intensive counters in healthcare, pharmacy, food handling and retail. Its anti-microbial casing uses Nano Silver Antibacterial Technology and is disinfectant ready, so it stands up to frequent wipe-downs while delivering fast, reliable scanning of both 1D and 2D barcodes (including QR codes on phone screens).
Why choose the P100-AM
Anti-microbial casing
Nano Silver Antibacterial Technology helps inhibit microbes on the scanner surface.
Disinfectant ready
Casing is designed to withstand regular cleaning and disinfecting routines.
Fast decoding
Latest mainboard and image scanning technology for improved decoding speed.
Intelligent aiming
Infrared and aiming auxiliary system helps line up codes quickly and accurately.
Ergonomic and durable
Comfortable, solid and durable design built for all-day handheld use.
USB plug and play
Connects over USB and works as keyboard input with a wide range of host devices.
How it fits your workflow
Plug the P100-AM into a spare USB port and it behaves like keyboard input: scan a barcode and the data drops straight into your active field, no special driver needed. The white anti-microbial housing and disinfectant-ready casing make it a natural fit at pharmacy, clinic, aged-care and food-service counters where the scanner is shared and wiped down often. The same fast 2D imaging also reads QR codes from customer phone screens at retail checkout.

Frequently asked questions
Does the P100-AM scan QR codes and barcodes on phone screens?
Yes. As a 2D imager it reads both 1D and 2D codes, including QR codes shown on customer phone screens as well as printed labels.
What does "anti-microbial" mean on this scanner?
The casing uses Nano Silver Antibacterial Technology and is disinfectant ready, meaning it is designed to inhibit microbes on its surface and stand up to regular cleaning. This makes it well suited to healthcare, pharmacy, aged-care and food-handling environments.
Is this scanner corded or wireless?
The P100-AM is a corded USB scanner. It connects directly to your host device over USB. If you need a cordless option, look at Element's Bluetooth models such as the P50BT anti-microbial cordless scanner.
Do I need to install drivers?
No. It is plug and play over USB and works as keyboard input, so scanned data drops straight into the active field on most host devices without special drivers.
What is the difference between a 1D and a 2D scanner?
A 1D scanner reads only traditional barcodes (parallel lines). A 2D scanner like the P100-AM reads both 1D barcodes and 2D codes such as QR and Data Matrix, giving you more flexibility at the counter.
Will it work with my POS software?
In most cases yes. The scanner acts as USB keyboard (HID) input, so it works with any software that accepts typed input into a field. Some POS systems list specific supported hardware, so check your POS provider's supported-device list or call us on 1300 026 062 and we will confirm.
How does the P100-AM line up and decode barcodes?
It uses an intelligent infrared and aiming auxiliary system to help line up codes quickly, paired with the latest mainboard and image scanning technology for improved decoding speed at scan-intensive counters.
What colour is the housing and is it built for all-day use?
The P100-AM has a white anti-microbial housing and a comfortable, solid and durable design built for all-day handheld use. The disinfectant-ready casing stands up to regular cleaning where the scanner is shared and wiped down often.
Which industries is it suited to?
It is built for hygiene-sensitive, scan-intensive counters in healthcare, pharmacy, food handling and retail, and also suits general retail and warehouse scanning of 1D and 2D codes.
