Datalogic QuickScan Video Review

We got yet another video up for your amusement. This time it’s the Datalogic QuickScan series of retail barcode scanners. Available as a linear imager, laser scanner, and cordless imager, these barcode scanners are pretty snappy and lightweight.

Anyway, enjoy!

POS-X EVO-TM1 Quicklook Video

Not one to deprive you of the videos we make, here’s a quickie of the new POS-X EVO-TM1 touchscreen monitor. We got Travis to run this one, primarily because we wanted more videos of him on YouTube.

POS-X XI3200, Now With Video

The fellas over at POS-X did a rev bump on their mid-range barcode scanners, jumping from the XI3000 to the XI3200. I’m pretty sure that this scanner is 200 more than the predecessor, too. POS-X chose the XI3200 as the time to shift offering only a USB model. A lot of manufacturers, and even some end users, are still clinging to PS/2 and even RS-232 for their barcode scanners, but 9 times out of 10 we’re selling a USB model.

We have a video here to show off, just a quick look at some of the new features on this scanner. Once we have a couple in house we’ll try to chuck one off the roof.

Ultra Ultra UltraScan Review

Hey so I already used my words plenty of times to talk about the UltraScan, so here’s some video of it, with the incomparable Jaime showing off the barcode scanner’s feats.

Metrologic Solaris Video Review

Jaime is cranking these out like it’s nobody’s business. The Metrologic Solaris is a high-powered omni-directional barcode scanner, excellent for grocery stores, drug stores, or any place needing up to 1,800 scans per second. It’s a boxy little guy, so it’s easy to set in-counter if space is an issue, too.

Anyway, here’s the video. I think there were two extra takes with goofiness. Really hard to make outtakes off of that.

Symbol LS2208 Video Review

I’m just putting videos all over the place. This round is the Symbol LS2208, one of the premier barcode scanners from our Symbol/Motorola friends. Pretty sure it’s been around forever, and it’s just as badass as it was when it was unleashed on the markets. If you go to a Radio Shack — and I know everyone needs wire clamps and PCB on occasion — the LS2208 is their main scanner.

Our reviewer mentions the durability being able to hold up to 6-foot drops. We were able to drop it from 13 feet a few times before it looked like the top plastic piece was going to explode off. Once we got it squished back together so it looked fine, it worked like a champ. The auto-sense trigger was permanently set, but it still works fine.

We’ve had a full text review online for a while, in case you’re looking for more info.

We get a little goofy on Halloween

This is part one of our two part series on why drinking a ton of soda, eating massive amounts of cupcakes and candy, and then trying to do a product review isn’t always the best plan. But it does make us look like contestants from Let’s Make a Deal.
