The code type narrows the options first: a 1D reader reads traditional barcodes, while a 1D/2D model also handles QR codes and DataMatrix, which turn up more and more often on packaging and delivery notes. The second question is the connection — a wired model is enough at a checkout, while the wireless XL-9325B or XL-9600 suits a warehouse where the reader is carried between the shelves. The XL-2600A desktop model frees up both hands, as the products are brought in front of the reader.
