SUNLUX Technology Sunlux XL-6500A Barcode Scanner, Desk Stand, Auto Detect (XL-6500A)

The SUNLUX XL-6500 is a consumer-grade, professional-grade laser barcode scanner that plugs into a computer's USB port. The XL-6500 reads 300x per second and is suitable for the more demanding consumer as well as commercial, industrial or logistics application environments. The XL-6500A supports reliable reading of barcodes up to 220mm (22cm) wide, so it is also ideal for reading barcodes on Finnish bank and invoices.

On the XL-6500A, the cradle and auto-detection with the reader in the cradle normally operate from a switch in your hand, but in the cradle it is enough to put a readable barcode in front.

The SUNLUX XL-6500 is light, ergonomic and equipped with rubber edges, so it is durable. The XL-6500A has a built-in barcode interpretation mechanism, so barcodes are read quickly without delay. The device also has built-in beep and LED signal systems that indicate the success of reading barcodes. Easy to set up: Does not require a separate driver installation and works on all operating systems.
