Difference:wired and Omnidirectional Scanner

2D barcode scanner and Omnidirectional Barcode Scanner are both tools that are often used in supermarkets to scan codes to collect a payment, so what is the difference between them? Which one is better and how should we choose?

1: The appearance is different.
As shown in the figure below, the 2D barcode scanner generally refers to hand-held, so there will be a relatively long handle; while the Omnidirectional Barcode Scanner is a desktop vertical scanning, the lower area is relatively large, and it is convenient to stand on the desktop
2: Different from the scanning depth of field angle.
From the appearance, we can find that the scanning head part of the 2D barcode scanner generally tends to be flat, so the scanning angle is generally around 34° V x 30° H (vertical and horizontal); The scanning angle of the  Omnidirectional Barcode Scanner is generally around 45° V x 60° H (vertical and horizontal), which can also capture moving barcodes and has a wider scanning range.
3: The price is different, the Omnidirectional Barcode Scanner is generally higher than the 2D barcode scanner.
For general commercial scanners, the 2D barcode scanner is superior to the  Omnidirectional Barcode Scanner in terms of both the performance of the internal scanning module and the material of the shell.
So how to choose a 2D barcode scanner and Omnidirectional Barcode Scanner? Which is better? Our suggestion is that if it is a large supermarket and a store with a lot of traffic, the Omnidirectional Barcode Scanner should be given priority, after all, the scanning performance is better; if it is a small personal store or a store with less traffic, and the budget is not so much In this case, a 2D barcode scanner can be considered.
