While there are still plenty of models available, this scanner has been replaced by a more recent model.
If you need an iPhone barcode scanner and the built-in camera just isn't cutting it, the CHS Series 7 scanner is the device you've been waiting for. The CHS Series 7i can pair with iOS, Android and Windows smartphones and tablets, allowing you to scan inventory without having to buy an expensive mobile computer. These small, lightweight devices fit easily in hand, so extended scanning sessions are no sweat.
The CHS Series 7 barcode scanner comes with your choice of 1D Imager, 1D laser scanner or 2D imager, excellent for shipping/receiving as well as general inventory scanning. All units can scan easily from 1 to 10 inches, with the laser and 2D options being ideal for scanning device screens. For warehouse and other intense scanning environments, a more rugged housing is available for the ability to withstand 6' drops to concrete. For healthcare providers, the 7XiRx features a rugged antimicrobial design, so you can apply cleaning agents without fear of pitting or etching the housing.

Shopkeep only officially supports one type of scanner right now and that is the Socket CHS Series 7 mobile scanners. It is possible to use some other Bluetooth scanners but they require extra steps to scan items in.
