What is a Handheld Scanner?

A handheld scanner is a compact, portable device that captures images or text from documents, objects, or 3D models. With various features and technologies, these devices allow quick and easy scanning without bulky desktop models. From scanning receipts to scanning books or creating high-precision 3D models, handheld scanners make life simpler for those who need to scan on the go.

Unveiling the Power of Handheld Scanners

Handheld scanners are versatile tools that capture and translate data encoded in barcodes, QR codes, and text into a digital format. This eliminates manual data entry, saving you time and minimising errors. They come in various forms, each with its own set of benefits:

Handheld Barcode Scanners: Perfect for retail checkout, inventory management, and warehouse operations. They can efficiently scan linear (1D) barcodes found on most products.

Handheld 3D Scanners: Best for capturing intricate details of objects for 3D printing, design, and quality control. These scanners use laser technology to create a digital 3D representation.

Handheld Document Scanners are designed to digitise documents, receipts, and photos accurately. They often have features like automatic page feeding and image enhancement.

Handheld Scanners vs. Traditional Scanners

While traditional flatbed scanners are still commonly used, handheld scanners offer unmatched flexibility and portability. Unlike their stationary counterparts, handheld scanners allow you to scan anywhere and anytime, bringing a much higher level of convenience for users on the move.

Handheld Scanners Buying Guide: What Key Features to Look for?

When selecting a handheld scanner, consider the following features to ensure you get the best model for your needs:

Resolution: Scan resolution is measured in DPI (dots per inch) and indicates the quality of the scan. Look for a Higher DPI (at least 600 DPI) for scanning documents, photos, or intricate details. A 1200 DPI or higher resolution is necessary for fine details or professional-quality scans.

Scanning Technology: Laser scanners are best for barcodes and basic documents, while image scanners offer better performance for capturing text and images. 3D scanners utilise specialised technology to capture object geometry.

Scan Speed: This refers to how quickly the scanner can capture data from a document. If you need fast and efficient scanning, especially in a busy office or for large batches of documents, look for a scanner that offers fast scanning speeds, typically measured in pages per minute (PPM).  

Durability: If you need a scanner that is easy to carry around, choose one that's lightweight and compact. Handheld scanners should weigh less than a pound and be small enough to fit in a bag or briefcase.

Storage Capacity and File Formats: Some handheld scanners offer internal storage, while others rely on external devices (e.g., a PC or USB stick) for storing scanned documents.
