Its miniature form factor and USB interface with a 1 metre pigtail make it straightforward to integrate into kiosks, ticketing machines and self-service terminals across Australia.
Why choose the Element P42KS
Omni-directional scanning
High-speed reads from any angle, so codes are captured the moment they enter the field of view.
Reads all 1D and 2D codes
Built on an industry-leading scan platform that handles all mainstream 1D and 2D barcodes.
Scans straight off phone screens
Captures barcodes and QR codes shown on mobile phone displays for tickets, vouchers and payment.
Miniature, easy to integrate
A compact body designed to fit neatly inside kiosks and terminals where space is tight.
USB and RS232 ready
Supports both USB and RS232 interfaces. This variant ships with a USB interface and a 1 metre pigtail cable.
Unattended object auto-sense
Detects presented items automatically, so it works hands-free in self-service and unattended settings.
How it fits your workflow
Mount the P42KS behind a window or panel and let the omni-directional camera do the work. Customers and staff simply present a printed barcode or a code on their phone, and object auto-sense triggers the read, no button press required. The 1 metre USB pigtail wires neatly into the host PC or controller inside your kiosk, ticket machine or self-service terminal, keeping the build tidy and reliable for high-traffic, always-on use.

Frequently asked questions
Can the P42KS read QR codes and barcodes shown on a phone screen?
Yes. The P42KS reads all mainstream 1D and 2D barcodes and is built to capture codes displayed on mobile phone screens, which makes it ideal for ticket redemption, vouchers and mobile payment at kiosks.
Does it need an operator to press a trigger?
No. This is a fixed-mount scanner with omni-directional scanning and object auto-sense, so it reads presented items automatically and works hands-free in unattended and self-service installations.
What interface and cable does this version use?
The P42KS platform supports both USB and RS232. This specific variant ships with a USB interface and a 1 metre pigtail cable for wiring directly into the host device inside your kiosk or terminal.
What is a fixed-mount scanner used for?
Fixed-mount scanners are embedded inside equipment rather than held in the hand. The P42KS is designed for self-service kiosks, access control, event ticket redemption, parking and ticket machines, transport boarding passes, postal and express delivery, gaming cash-outs and production lines.
Is it easy to integrate into my own enclosure?
Yes. The P42KS has a miniature form factor designed to be integrated into kiosks and terminals where space is limited, and the USB pigtail makes connecting to a host PC or controller simple.
Will it work with my POS or kiosk software?
Most scanners present scanned data to the host as standard keyboard (HID) input, which works with the majority of POS and kiosk applications. Some self-service software expects a specific scanner model or configuration, so we recommend checking your platform's supported-hardware list, or calling our team on 1300 026 062 to confirm before you buy.
