(2) The scanning methods are different. Most of the scanning platforms support multi-line scanning and single-line scanning, and the scanning window of the scanning platform is larger than that of the ordinary scanning gun. We only need to close the bar code to the scanning window, and the bar code can be successfully read with a light flash, which is relatively easier to operate.

However, ordinary scanning guns, whether wired handheld scanning guns or wireless scanning guns, need to hold the bar code scanning gun in hand to scan the bar code. Each time the bar code is scanned, the trigger key of the scanning gun needs to be manually pressed. Long-term operation will also make users feel tired. However, due to the continuous upgrading of bar code scanning gun technology and the continuous transformation of the appearance "ergonomic" design, many bar code scanning guns can also support self-induction or long-bright scanning modes, at this time, it is matched with a scanning gun bracket, which is no different from the platform scanning gun.

The above is the main difference between the scanning platform and the ordinary scanning gun. However, the selection of the bar code scanning gun cannot be considered only from the above two points.
