Tera Barcode Scanner Wireless 1D 2D QR with Stand: Battery Level Indicator 3 in 1 Works with Bluetooth 2.4G Wireless USB Wired Handheld Bar Code Reader with Vibration Alert HW0002 White

So the long and the short of it is for the money we give it a 10 for the instruction book we give it a 4. Yes this will work with square it will not show up on the square scanner listing but it works. Pair it with your phone or tablet. Go to the item list in square scroll down to sku line scan your barcode label to add it save it and it's good. Now when you want to scan a item press search scan the barcode and that's it

Really nice quality scanner that has a massive amount of configurable features. I almost wanted to knock off 1 star in my review because the user manual that came with it wasn't the latest one. The scanner is Model HW0002. You need to go to the product website and download the latest user manual and then you'll have all the latest barcodes to scan in to change the configuration settings in the scanner.Some of the things I tested:● Continuous mode scanning QR codes in storage mode and then uploading all the scanned codes at once.● UPS and USPS barcode scanning.● Driver's license and passport card scanning.● Scanning a variety of UPC and ISBN13 barcodes of various products and books.● Automatically having extra characters inserted into the barcodes I scanned.● Having carriage return and linefeed automatically added at the end of each scan.● Bluetooth pairing with Android and Apple phones.● Using 2.4GHz WIFI connection with included WIFI adapter.All my tests worked perfectly. Any programming and setting changes are all done by scanning in barcodes in the user manual, so having the latest user manual is essential. I didn't see anything about charging in the manual, but if you plug in the included USB cable and the unit is off, the LED on top of the scanner will turn red. The red LED will turn off after it is done charging.If you ever want to check the battery level you can scan a barcode that will show you the current battery level. After a while I was thinking, how do I turn this thing off? On page 55 of the user manual you can scan codes to change the automatic power-off settings. Overall I am really happy with this product and would recommend it for any of your scanning needs.

I scan several types of codes. Most of them are linear (Code 128, Interleaved 2 of 5, UPC and International Article Number). I now need to add QR codes to the list. So I thought I would try this scanner. IF the linear bar codes are close together, this scanner is all over the map. IOW, if there are three codes (i.e. Serial Number, Product Code, Origination Location), getting this thing to scan JUST the serial number is a waste. It will scan everything but the SN. Trying to be precise in location or hiding other nearby codes is useless. In fact, in some cases getting it to scan a linear code that is all by itself is a lesson in frustration.I've tried programming, resetting, changing values... Nothing.. This is not a scanner for the faint of heart. If all you do is QR codes and could care less what values are returned (or your application pulls relevant data out of the QR scan) then this might be for you. But as a good all around hand held? Nope. Just doesn't cut the mustard...

This device works as a simple keyboard input device, and as such, works with Linux and any other operating system supplied with a simple keyboard USB input driver.GETTING SCANNED DATADo not be deceived as I was, thinking I had to use "cat" on a device file or use some additional special program for reading the keyboard input data provided by this scanner!Simply open your favorite text editor, such as VI/VIM or even terminal, or if you must office word processor, and click the barcode scanner after connected with the supplied with the barcode scanner's supplied 2.4Ghz USB wireless device.USEFUL SETTINGSSome useful settings will be turning off the vibration notification, turning down the scanner's beep volume, adding or removing the carriage return terminator at the end of the scanned barcode. All these settings and more, can easily be switched using the barcode scanner's manual and scanning the setting's associated QR or bar code. Best to keep these settings on-hand and/or duplicated at your designated scanning areas.MAKING USE OF THE DATATODOAlthough the text/ASCII alphanumeric characters are easily attained, doesn't seem to be any popular inventory database system for consumers, except Grocy and Gcstar. Both seem to have limitations, with Grocy being more easily adapted for inventorying anything.LINUXThe USB wireless device is a 2.4Ghz(?) USB wireless device having a 0581:011C USB vendor/product code. The USB device will provide a /dev/input/event device file, linked to something similar as /dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:1a.0-usb-0:1.3:1.0-event-kbd device file. TODO: One will likely need to convert the binary serial data to text for use within a script?PROSEasily configured and utilized barcode scanner, operating system agnostic!CONS1) The accuracy is likely slightly off sometimes, likely due to the scanner trying to read more than one barcode type at once. So likely best, if you're using consistently one type of barcode, use a scanner for that specific type of barcode rather than a multiple type barcode scanner.2) Seems like a cheap grade of plastic is used for the exterior, or not as commercial/durable grade plastic used.3) The plastic holder appears to be readily mountable or used on a desktop, however the plastic holder does not seem to be designed to be mounted to a wall! Or, if holder is mounted to a wall, it's going to haphazardly stick-out from the wall by nine or more inches! This is likely a significant oversight during engineering?4) Made in China. On the flip, I rarely give good ratings for explicitly made Chinese products. This product, so far, just works with a few exceptions.5) Not many barcode scanners can read all of the available types of barcodes on the market. Think this one of the very few on the market currently.6) Performing a search for scripting or software making use of barcode data for database inventory for consumers seems to be significantly lacking. My guess, most are sitting back and waiting for the stores to implement a system of providing consumers already scanned barcodes, and automagically transferred to their private home inventory database. This would be by far much easier, than having to re-scan every item purchased again and again and again! Just send us consumers a list of the barcode scanned alphanumeric characters via Email, and have our home inventory database automatically read in the data. Then consumers only need to negate the item once they use or pull the item from their inventory.

UPDATE:The scanner is not working anymore. It doesn’t read barcodes anymore for some reasons. I tried discharging the battery hoping the will restart it but it did not. It did not even last a year. This was actually the second scanner I got which was a replacement of the one died within a month.Versatile barcode scanner! I attached the wireless to my pc and connected it thru bluetooth to my mobile devices. So I can sit down and put it on the cradle and scan when I’m at my desk or carry it with me and use my iPhone or iPad. Lightweight and easy to use. You can adjust scanning sensitivity. A little pricey but does the job better than my previous one.

I use it almost every day(around 30 times per day). But since this time, there have been many failures to match. I always need to scan the reset QR code on the manual before I can continue to use it. It is hard to imagine what would happen if I lost this manual.

Very complicated to get to work. Tryed to contact company and they only answered once to my emails. Not happy with the instructions.

unable to obtain a operating manual Tera web page does not work supposed to operate hands free will not ,setting barcode unavailable in quick start manual
