Frequently asked questions​

Which barcodes does the HD870A support?
It reads 1D and 2D codes, including QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417 and Aztec, plus all major 1D formats such as EAN, UPC, Code 128, Code 39 and Interleaved 2 of 5.
Can the HD870A read DataMatrix GS1 (UDI) codes?
Yes. Scan the "Activate DataMatrix GS1 (UDI) reading" code in the section near the top of this page to turn on dedicated reading of DataMatrix GS1 / UDI codes used on medical devices and regulated products.
Does the HD870A have an automatic (hands-free) mode?
Yes. Placed on the included stand and set to induction mode, the scanner reads codes automatically without pressing the button. Scan the "Induction (auto-sensing)" code in the Scan Mode section.
What interfaces are available?
The scanner connects over USB as a standard HID keyboard, and also supports a Virtual COM (USB-COM) and TTL / RS232 serial interface with configurable baud rate, data bits, stop bits and parity.
Does the HD870A require driver installation?
No. In the default USB keyboard mode it is recognised automatically by Windows, macOS and Linux without any additional drivers or software.
Can I set a custom prefix or suffix?
Yes. Scan "Enable custom prefix" (or suffix), then "Set custom prefix", then the digit / hex barcodes from the appendix that spell the characters you want, and finally "Save".
