Collecting barcode data is meant to be an easy feat, and Bluetooth barcode scanners make it far easier to capture and send data to your computer system. To make sure you get the best Bluetooth scanning devices for your business, it is best if you look for the following attributes. 

The Bluetooth scanner is small and lightweight.

Bluetooth barcode scanners should not be bulky or cumbersome or in any way hard to carry around. You will likely be using the scanner repeatedly, and a heavy or an awkwardly shaped scanner will cause a lot of wrist and hand fatigue that could be avoided. It is also important to remember that the smaller versions are easy to slip into a pocket to carry with you while you work. 

The Bluetooth scanner is affordable or reasonably priced. 

Price isn't the most important factor, but it is a factor to be considered without a doubt. A lot of buyers go for the most expensive versions simply because they assume they must be the best, but that is not always true. Some of the more expensive versions can have a lot of extra functions that you may not ever use. Stick with a modest price point and get familiar with the functions that you feel are going to be important to you. 

The Bluetooth scanner comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. 

You should be on the lookout for a scanning device that is outfitted with a good-quality battery, so a lithium-ion battery is a good option. These batteries are rechargeable and tend to hold a charge the longest. You will be able to use your scanner for longer periods of time if it has a good battery. Plus, you definitely do not want to have to be replacing batteries in your scanner on a regular basis. 

The Bluetooth scanner provides some kind of feedback after a scan. 

When you have a lot of barcodes that have to be scanned for business purposes, it is easy to miss something when you believe you got it. Therefore, it is important that the scanning device you use does have some kind of feedback for when you successfully scan something. Devices should give you both an audible and visual signal that the scan was successful. For instance, you should hear a short beep and see a quick flash of a green or blue light.
