Description

The Unitech MS838B is a cost-effective 2D wireless imager scanner designed for mobile freedom and reliable performance. Equipped with a 2.4GHz wireless connection, it transmits data up to 100 metres in open line of sight via the included USB dongle. Whether scanning from checkout counters or warehouse racks, the MS838B offers flexibility, high-speed decoding, and long operational hours, all in a compact, rugged form factor.

This advanced scanner reads both 1D and 2D barcodes from paper or digital screens, even under poor lighting. With a 60 fps scan rate, 4 mil resolution, and built-in memory for offline buffer storage, it supports continuous scanning—even when out of wireless range. The ergonomic design ensures comfort during extended use, and its IP42-rated enclosure resists dust and light moisture, making it ideal for retail, logistics, and light industrial applications.
