Frequently asked questions
Can the Element P881D scan QR codes and barcodes off a phone screen?
Yes. The P881D is optimised for all common 2D barcodes and digital codes, including codes shown on a customer's smartphone screen, so it handles mobile coupons, loyalty cards and tickets as well as printed labels.
Does it read 1D barcodes as well as 2D?
It is a 2D omni-directional imager. 2D imagers read common 1D barcodes (such as those used on retail products) as well as 2D codes, so it suits typical point-of-sale use.
How does the P881D connect?
It is a corded scanner that connects over USB. There is no Bluetooth or wireless pairing to manage, so it is ready to use as soon as it is plugged in.
Is it a handheld or a desktop scanner?
The P881D is a front-facing desktop scanner with a compact form factor. It sits on the counter so staff can present items or phone screens to the scan window, rather than being picked up like a handheld gun.
What warranty does it come with?
The P881D is covered by a 24-month return-to-base warranty.
Will it work with my POS software?
USB barcode scanners like the P881D typically act as HID keyboard input, so they work with most point-of-sale software without special drivers. Some POS apps only support specific approved models, so it is worth checking your POS supported-hardware list or calling us on 1300 026 062 to confirm before you buy.
