NETUM NT-1228BL 2D Barcode Scanner with Bluetooth, 2.4G Wireless and USB

How to use it

Choose Bluetooth, 2.4G wireless, or USB wired connection to link the NT-1228BL with a compatible computer, phone, or tablet. For Bluetooth, the scanner supports HID, SPP, and BLE modes, 2.4G wireless uses a USB receiver, while USB connects directly by cable. In wired mode, you can scan while the scanner charges.

Scan barcodes from labels and paper, or read codes displayed on a phone, tablet, or computer screen. The CMOS sensor supports 1D and 2D formats, including QR Code, PDF417, and Data Matrix, making the scanner useful for checkout, inventory tasks, and other workflows that involve different barcode types.

Need to collect codes away from the connected device? Storage mode saves scans in the scanner for a later batch upload. Instant upload instead sends each scan to the open file on your device. Choose from trigger, continuous, or auto-induction scanning to suit how you work.

Why it’s worth it

Three connection options let you choose a setup that fits the device and work area: Bluetooth for compatible mobile devices, a 2.4G receiver for wireless use with a computer, or a USB cable for a direct connection. That flexibility is useful when a scanner needs to move between a checkout station, a workbench, and a mobile device rather than stay tied to one connection method.

The two upload modes also support different routines. Instant upload is suited to entering scans directly into an open file, while storage mode lets you gather codes first and transfer them together later. Screen scanning adds another practical option when a barcode arrives digitally instead of on a printed label. For a work setup that mainly needs one connection and one barcode type, a simpler scanner may be enough, this model brings together multiple connection and scan workflows in one handheld reader.

Buyers often describe the scanner as easy to use and find wireless connectivity useful. Feedback is mixed on pairing, scanning performance, and reliability, so opinions vary by setup and experience. Match the scanner’s keyboard language to the computer’s keyboard language for the intended output. Square POS is not compatible.

Should you buy it?

You’ll appreciate it if your routine involves scanning a mix of 1D and 2D codes and you want the choice of wireless, Bluetooth, or wired operation. Its screen-reading capability, batch storage option, and selectable scan modes make it a practical fit for varied scanning tasks, from processing printed labels to collecting codes for later transfer.
