Barcode Scanners

Barcode scanners are an effective tool for smooth and comprehensive equipment management. All barcode scanners supplied by Trail can also read QR codes.

The scanner device can be used to scan labels, for example in reservations, lendings, and inventories.

You can easily order your own scanner device directly from Trail's sales team: sales@trail.fi

Note:

Barcode scanners are pre-configured for Nordic use. Do not change the scanner's country code without specific instructions, as changing the settings may cause problems reading the tags. If you encounter issues or have questions, you can contact Trail support: support@trail.fi
