The Serial Magic Gears license is optional, but if you don’t buy it, you’ll see a pop-up message every few scans and will need to rescan.

The Opticon OPN2005
The Opticon OPN2005 is our favorite bluetooth scanner. Period.
The OPN2005 easily connects to an iPhone/iPad, Android phone or tablet, or Windows PC or Mac.
This bluetooth scanner works great with Profit Bandit, Sellery and many other listing and inventory management software programs.
In our tests, we’ve been able to scan a barcode in less than a second. Just press the button and place the laser across the barcode. No fiddling and futzing to focus a camera.

Is this the only scanner that will work with you app? or can i use any scanner that will work with my phone?
Other bluetooth scanners will work, but we recommend the OPN 2005.
The Serial IO Scanfob 2005 is another good choice.
After some research, I’m torn between Opticon OPN2005 and the KDC200. Do you have an opinion on KDC200? Does it even work with Profit Bandit? Thanks in advance.
Yes. We have heard of some people having problems with the KDC200. We’ve never tried one ourselves, though.
So I bit the bullet and got the OPN2005. Loving it so far. Only annoying thing is the super loud beep and I can’t seem to figure out how to turn it off. Any idea?
