KEYENCE handheld scanners can be held in a single hand to read barcodes and 2D codes and import information into PCs and similar devices. Some scanners are specialized for reading barcodes. Other scanners support the reading of both barcodes and 2D codes. The target is exposed to a laser or LED, and the reflected light is received by a CMOS or CCD to read the code.

A diverse variety of reading devices including fixed mount code readers and handheld computers is available, but the major difference between these devices and handheld scanners is that the latter is specialized for reading codes with the scanner held in the operator’s hands. Therefore, most handheld scanners are smaller and lighter than other reading devices to prioritize ease of handling during work. Also, the purpose of handheld scanners is to transmit the read information to the connected device or software without using a terminal to perform programming or write information for the work application, which is different from handheld computers. Therefore, handheld scanners are normally operated with a simple mechanism such as a trigger switch or button. In most situations, handheld scanners are held in a single hand when used, but they may also be used in a hands-free orientation where they are mounted on a stand to read targets as they pass by. The read information is transmitted and applied to software or a connected work system for production or inventory control via a connected PC, PLC, or other such device. This information is also transmitted and applied to POS systems and similar systems via in-store POS registers.















Types and Features of Handheld Scanners





Handheld scanners are grouped into two main types according to the codes they can read. These types can be further subdivided according to the applications and reading methods (light source, light-receiving element, etc.).





Handheld Barcode/2D Code Scanners

These handheld scanners can read not just barcodes (1D codes) in various standards but also 2D codes such as QR codes, DataMatrix codes, and PDF417. One feature of these scanners is that they have a detection area that is larger than that of handheld barcode scanners specialized for reading barcodes. Therefore, they commonly use a high-intensity LED for the light source and receive reflected light with a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor), transmitting the information decoded according to the standard to the connected device. Some scanners can even read multiple barcodes and 2D codes in the detection area as a batch. These devices are mainly separated into two types, one that supports manufacturing sites and other such harsh environments and one that emphasizes versatility and work efficiency.

Industrial handheld code readers

At manufacturing sites, DPM (direct part marking), in which parts or modules are marked directly with 2D codes or similar information, is used to manage parts, prevent the mixing of different types of parts, and support traceability during manufacturing. Although DPM allows for reasonable part management, the materials of the targets make it necessary to support codes that are difficult to read due to various surface conditions such as light reflectance and absorptivity, curved surfaces, and surface roughness. Therefore, handheld scanners that can support diverse lighting conditions are effective in industrial applications. These devices must also be durable enough to withstand harsh environments.

Compact and lightweight type

This type refers to the handheld barcodes/2D code scanners that emphasize versatility at logistics warehouses, stores, and similar locations. Compared to industrial types that emphasize the reading of difficult-to-read DPM codes and support for harsh environments, these devices have compact and lightweight designs that prioritize ease of handling corresponding to the reading targets. Also, types that can read at high speeds improve work efficiency.

Handheld Barcode Scanners

These handheld scanners are specialized to read barcodes (1D codes) such as JAN/EAN/UPC, Code39, Code128, ITF, industrial 2of5, and NW-7 (Codabar). Normally, barcodes are arranged along the horizontal axis, so structures and principles that match the reading of these codes are used. Two typical types of handheld barcode scanners with different light sources and light-receiving elements are introduced below.

Laser barcode scanners

These handheld barcode scanners are specialized to read barcodes (1D codes) and use a laser for their light source. Generally, the light source is a visible semiconductor laser, and galvano mirrors are used to reflect the laser light to the left and right, illuminating the entire barcode from one end to the other. The diffuse reflected light from the barcode is then received, and its waveform is decoded according to the barcode standard to read the information. The laser light allows for sharp illumination that is not easily affected by the environment, ensuring stable reading in various situations.

CCD barcode scanners

These handheld barcode scanners generally use red LEDs for their light source and CCDs (Charge Coupled Devices) for their image sensor. With no laser emitter and other such moving parts, the light emitted from the LED light source is reflected by mirrors to illuminate the reading target. The result is that the number of scans per second that can be performed is twice that of a laser barcode scanner. Therefore, these devices have excellent barcode reading speed and response.














Handheld scanners are used to read barcodes, 2D codes, or both. Handheld scanners specialized for ease of handling and advanced reading performance are effective at improving work efficiency when connected directly to a PC, PLC, POS register, or similar device.

There are also handheld computers used as handheld type reading devices, but using these multi-function handheld computers close to PCs, PLCs (sequencers), and similar devices complicates the system and work. On the other hand, handheld scanners specialized for code reading simplify hardware configurations and improve work efficiency with their compact and lightweight designs that provide excellent ease of handling in reading work. The codes of various standards can be read and arbitrary items of, for example, work systems can be entered. Handheld scanners can be used in a variety of situations such as manufacturing sites, logistics warehouses, retail stores, medical institutions, infrastructure, and amusement facilities, and selecting the scanner specialized for the codes to read leads to improved work efficiency.



Handheld scanners provide substantial performance as devices specialized for reading while held by the operator. You can improve your work efficiency by selecting the handheld scanner that matches your specific purpose, considering factors such as scan speed, response, detection area size, sharpness, and distance to the target.

Because they are simple devices, one of the factors for selecting handheld scanners is their advanced performance matching various applications. The required performance varies depending on the application and also on whether the codes to read are just barcodes (1D codes), just 2D codes, or both. For example, a handheld scanner with a large detection area and a long reading distance is effective at reading barcodes and 2D codes at manufacturing sites. On the other hand, when reading an order book and when performing similar work in which multiple narrow barcodes are read continuously, using triggers to operate a handheld scanner that performs a large number of scans per second with a good response can not only prevent work loss attributable to incorrectly read codes but can also prevent mistakes such as skipped or missed codes.



With multiple connection methods available, handheld scanners can be connected to PCs, PLCs, etc. in a way that matches the connected device. These connection methods include wired connections (USB, RS-232C, and Ethernet) and wireless connections (such as Bluetooth) to match the application.

A USB connection is useful for entering the information read with a handheld scanner into the work system, spreadsheet software, etc. on a PC. Power can be supplied to a handheld scanner via a USB bus, so no external power supply is necessary. Selecting the Ethernet or RS-232C connection method allows for connections to PLCs (sequencers) and other such industrial edge devices. Furthermore, types specialized for RS-232C connections between devices made by the same manufacturer—for example, KEYENCE handheld scanners and PLCs—are available, ensuring even smoother operations. Handheld barcode/2D code scanners can also be connected to wirelessly via Bluetooth. This is effective in obtaining the improvements to workability and work safety that can only be provided by wireless connections.








Reading difficult-to-read DPM (direct part marking)

Direct part marking, in which complicated 2D codes are marked directly on parts, is widely used in management and traceability at manufacturing sites. The surfaces of parts are very diverse, so it is hardly uncommon for it to be difficult to read codes with handheld code readers due to surface conditions. SR-G100 Series handheld DPM code readers make use of the algorithm designed for KEYENCE’s latest fixed mount code readers but optimized for handheld types to handle difficult-to-read codes with persistence and speed. Even warped codes on curved surfaces like in image A, codes marked on cutting marks like in image B, and codes marked on uneven surfaces like in image C can be read easily, quickly, stably, and without errors.

Automatic, hands-free reading

KEYENCE’s handheld barcode scanners can easily be used as fixed mount scanners, just set them in the dedicated stand. In automatic scan mode, just move the barcode to read past the scanner to automatically start reading. With handheld and hands-free reading modes, these scanners can be used in a wide variety of situations. Removing the scanner from the stand cancels automatic scan mode, allowing the operator to switch between usage methods without any stress and eliminating mistakes that arise from forgetting to manually change the mode.

Continuous barcode reading, such as with order books

Target reading mode is useful when trying to continuously read barcodes in an efficient manner, such as with order books. With KEYENCE laser handheld barcode scanners, the laser light is aligned with the barcodes to read, and reading is performed when the trigger switch is pressed. This not only prevents mistakes and missed codes, but allows for stable and fast work when reading a large number of barcodes.









There are various connection methods, and you can select the right one for your application. Handheld barcode scanners can be easily connected to PCs, PLCs (sequencers), etc. via the highly versatile USB interface (with power supplied from the USB bus) or via the RS-232C interface. You can connect a handheld barcode/2D code scanner to a PC via USB and supply power through this connection as well. RS-232C, Ethernet, PS/2, and similar connections are also supported. You can also quickly connect the scanner to an existing system such as a PLC and an HMI (a touch panel) instead of a PC. When used in combination with a dedicated communication unit, KEYENCE handheld barcode/2D code scanners (the SR-G100 Series/HR-100 Series) can be connected wirelessly over Bluetooth.



KEYENCE provides AutoID Keyboard Wedge, a piece of software that can be used to output the read information in various ways without requiring specialized programming. This software meets diverse needs with some examples including the need to output to Excel just specific parts of the alphanumeric strings indicated by barcodes, the need to replace alphanumeric text with control characters, and the need to convert 2D code control characters to specific keys such as [Tab] and assign these keys to cells. Also, with industrial handheld code readers, the AutoID Network Navigator software can be used to easily configure settings, perform automatic calibration, and display images in real time with Live View on a PC.



At manufacturing sites, fixed mount barcode readers are used as the inline reading devices, but handheld scanners can be used together with these devices to complement management and traceability by recording events outside the line. For example, in machining or assembly processes, if subline work occurs, a worker scanning the DPM on the parts ensures that the process is recorded in its entirety. In inspection processes, when targets found to be defective are repaired in near-line locations, handheld scanners allow that history to be recorded easily. In transportation or shipping processes, handheld scanners can be used to immediately record situations where it is necessary to reload products on the conveyor line due to errors and different products being mixed together. In this way, handheld scanners provide flexible and efficient support for semi-automatic and fully automatic worksites.













Using three different points of view, this section introduces how to select a handheld scanner according to its application and purpose.

1. Selection according to the codes to read

One major point to use in selecting the handheld scanner is whether the codes to read are barcodes (1D codes) or 2D codes.

Reading just barcodes

Handheld barcode scanner (laser/CCD type)

Reading 2D codes

Handheld barcode/2D code scanner (compact and lightweight industrial handheld code reader)

Selecting a handheld barcode/2D code scanner allows you to read not just 2D codes but barcodes as well, eliminating the need to purchase replacement scanners in the future if your current setup of just using barcodes changes to also handle 2D codes. The readable range also increases, leading to greatly improved work efficiency. On the other hand, if you do not need to read anything other than barcodes, selecting a handheld barcode scanner specialized for this purpose provides the benefits that only come with a specialized device such as specifications, cost performance, and work efficiency.

2. Selection according to the usage environment and application

Handheld scanners are used in a wide variety of situations including manufacturing sites, logistics warehouses, retail stores, offices, and medical institutions. KEYENCE’s lineup contains handheld scanners for a variety of usage environments.

Manufacturing sites

It is effective to introduce industrial handheld code readers to read the DPM (direct part marking) codes on parts made of various materials and having various shapes during manufacturing processes. With diverse lighting conditions, it is possible to read codes even if parts have curved or glossy surfaces and even if the light absorptivity or surface roughness varies. These devices also have excellent durability to withstand use in harsh environments.

3. Selection according to whether wireless connections are used

At manufacturing sites, the cable of the handheld scanner may get caught due to the environmental conditions of the process, leading to problems and disconnections. Also, in logistics work and work at stores, offices, etc., the cable can get in the way when moving packages and when scanning at a distance from packages. For this type of work environment and details, it is effective to select a handheld scanner that supports wireless connections via Bluetooth.

Hand scanner | it’s… What is a Handheld Scanner?

handheld scanners are devices that scan by swiping over text or images to be processed. The term arose with the advent of the first small monochrome portable scanners, the functions of which were limited to scanning itself. At the moment, handheld scanners are called a wide range of devices similar in organization.

First generation of handheld scanners

First generation handheld scanners

The first hand-held image scanners were especially popular in the early 90s. Most handheld scanners were monochrome and used several green LEDs to illuminate the image. As a rule, they had a specialized interface suitable for a certain type of computer: for example, the Atari ST or the Commodore Amiga [1] .

Compared to flatbed scanners, the first hand-held scanners were smaller, performed identical functions, but did an order of magnitude worse job. For example, it was not possible to scan a standard A4 sheet in one pass: it was necessary to process several sections sequentially, halos often appeared during color scanning, and the color gamut was distorted [2] . The main problem was maintaining a constant speed – in most cases, it was not possible to achieve uniform movement, which led to distortion of the resulting image. The next step in barcode recognition is the creation of 2D scanners that allow performing fundamentally new functions, such as scanning an image while moving. One of the modern and patented technologies is motion recognition technology – Datalogic Motionix.

Handheld barcode scanners

Main article: Barcode scanner

barcode scanner

Handheld barcode scanner is a device that reads the barcode printed on product packaging and transmits the information to a computer, cash register or POS terminal. Like flatbed scanners, it consists of a light source, a lens, and a light sensor that converts optical pulses into electrical ones. In addition, almost all barcode scanners contain a decoding circuit that parses the image information provided by the sensor and sends the barcode content to the scanner’s output port. Model examples:

  • Honeywell Voyager PDF : handheld laser scanner for reading PDF-417 barcodes from Honeywell ;
  • Universal Barcode Scanner Symbol DS6700 by Motorola .

Hand-held scanners for vehicles

Hand-held diagnostic scanners are designed for diagnostics, reading error codes, viewing the readings of internal sensors of vehicles without using a computer or additional aids. Often have a built-in high-contrast display to display information. For example, handheld scanner U-581 OBDII CAN .

Portable Handheld Scanners

Both monochrome and color devices provide the functionality of a desktop solution while being able to work independently of a computer. Outwardly, the scanner looks like an ordinary ballpoint pen, but a little thicker and longer (the length is approximately equal to the width of an A4 sheet). The scanners are powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, the number of stored scanned pages depends on the amount of memory of a particular model (if the memory can be expanded with micro-sd cards), the approximate scanning time for one page is 4-8 seconds. Recharging and transferring images to a computer is carried out via a USB cable. Model examples: Planon DocuPen (various modifications).

Handheld text scanners

This type of device includes a scanner and an OCR system that converts a graphic image into a text file. Such scanners automatically enter information into any input field of a program or information system on a computer where keyboard input is possible. The number of recognized languages ​​is up to one hundred and fifty, special banking fonts and one-dimensional barcodes are also supported. It is commonly used when working with financial documents, personal data and in the library field. A distinctive feature, as already mentioned, is the presence of built-in OCR. For example, C-pen 9 handheld text scanner0062 20 USB .

Notebook scanners

Notebook scanners combine the functions of the two previous types of devices: work independently of a computer, as well as scanning, storing received text (up to 500 pages), transferring data to a PC or communicator and then editing them in Windows applications. For example: InfoScan™2 from WizCom Technologies .

Scanner-translators

The hand-held scanner-translator is often a functional extension of the notebook scanner. The main difference of the device is the ability to scan a word (string of words) and provide a word-by-word translation (including translation of idioms and phrases), as well as the function of pronouncing a string or a single word in the selected language. For example, model Quicktionary®2 from WizCom Technologies .

Handheld Reading Scanners

Designed for people who are either language learners or have reading difficulties (eg dyslexics). Scanners of this type provide fluency and autonomy of reading and improve understanding of the text due to the ability to get the definition and correct pronunciation of the word within a few seconds. For example, model Readingpen® Advanced Edition from WizCom Technologies .

Scanning equipment designed to identify goods , information about which (manufacturer, price, name, etc.) is entered in the database of the outlet. The most popular today are hand-held barcode scanners, providing the operator with mobility during work. Such devices are often used in the field of logistics, trade, services and warehouses.

The equipment is capable of functioning in automatic, manual reading mode or on command from the main device.

Mini barcode scanners, depending on the reading technology, are divided into:

  1. Laser. They are characterized by high speed of work, as well as the ability to read the code at a great distance. The design of the device provides for the presence of moving parts, which is why the device must be protected from falling. Some manufacturers produce equipment in a shockproof case.
  2. LED. The emitting element of the devices is the LED. These are budget models that are able to read good quality linear barcodes at a short distance.
  3. Image scanners. Photo scanners work on a different technology. The technique is able to read codes from smartphones, tablets, glossy and damaged surfaces.
