HW-1560S Barcode Scanner Module: Ultra-Compact Design with Superior Sunlight Readability
The HW-1560S is a high-value barcode scanner module that supports both 1D and 2D barcode decoding. With compact dimensions of just 56 × 33 × 14 mm, its remarkably low 14 mm profile makes it ideal for integration into tablets and other space-constrained devices. Engineered for reliable performance in diverse lighting conditions, the module excels at reading QR codes from screens—whether indoors or under direct sunlight.
An integrated black plastic light-absorbing component surrounding the camera effectively minimizes reflected light interference, ensuring clean image capture for consistent decoding.
Key Features
- Image-Based Decoding: Utilizes advanced imaging technology to accurately read both printed and screen-displayed 1D and 2D barcodes
- Anti-Sunlight Reflection: Delivers dependable screen barcode reading even in bright outdoor environments
- Wide-Angle Lens & Close-Range Focus: Simplifies user alignment with an extended depth of field, ideal for close-proximity scanning
- Ultra-Compact Form Factor: Enables seamless integration into space-sensitive devices such as handheld terminals and kiosks
- Cost-Effective Excellence: Combines robust scanning performance with an accessible price point
