Which barcode scanners are compatible with Lightspeed Retail POS?
Answer
It will depend on whether you are using the Desktop/Laptop computer version or if you are using the Lightspeed Retail App for the iPad.
If you are using Windows or Mac OS X, Lightspeed recommends either the Honeywell Voyager 1200g (corded) or the Honeywell Voyager 1202g (cordless). Both models should be the USB interface
If you are using the Lightspeed Retail app for iPad then you would be looking at using either the Socket CHS Series 7 scanners or the Zebra CS4070 mobile scanner.

Honeywell Voyager 1200g
For advanced laser scanner, you can't go wrong with the Honeywell Voyager 1200g. CodeGate technology allows you greater precision when scanning barcodes, ideal for densely populated lists of barcodes. The scanner can also read remarkably damaged barcodes, speeding up scanning in rough environments.
Honeywell Voyager 1202g
The Honeywell Voyager 1202g gives you the scanning of the 1200g with the freedom of movement you need from a cordless scanner. Using a sleek design, the Voyager 1202g gives you around 30 feet of range from the communications cradle or paired Bluetooth device. With the Voyager 1200g's laser scanning, the 1202g is able to read incredibly poor or damaged barcodes.

Great at reading screens, the Zebra CS4070 Bluetooth 2D mobile scanner captures barcodes rapidly and would be best for high volume ticketing or inventory management.
