# Recommended Barcode and QR Code Scanners

Please refer to the following guides for more information about the **Barcode/QR code scanning solutions** recommended for the **Inventory** module.


:::info
Choose a **recommended wireless hand-held scanning device** and/or a **mobile application solution** to handle Inventory transactions. Our **current list of recommended scanning solutions** may be expanded in the future.

:::


We recommend the following barcode scanners for our customers:


1. [ScanAvenger AS 8876](/doc/setup-guide-for-scanavenger-as-8876-barcode-reader-HCnfWvpaRP)
2. [Datalogic Magellan 1100i](/doc/setup-guide-for-datalogic-magellan-1100i-barcode-reader-oyMkCNEFI9) (alternative: [Datalogic Magellan 900i Presentation Scanner](https://www.datalogic.com/eng/retail-transportation-logistics-healthcare-gs1-digital-link-other-applications/fixed-retail-scanners/magellan-900i-pd-1086.html))
3. [CipherLab 2500 series](/doc/setup-guide-for-cipherlab-2500-series-barcode-reader-ZhcOkvgtDn)
4. [Zebra DS4608](/doc/setup-guide-for-zebra-ds4608-barcode-reader-MShmYQq8li)

In the Inventory Manager, all QR/barcodes are identified by the **#LS prefix**. This prefix configuration is required for Inventory 2.6 and later to suppor**t QR code and barcode scanning**.

First, the QR/Bar code reader should be configured to add this prefix when reading a QR/Bar code.


:::warning
If using a **Smartphone Scanner Application, the #LS prefix** for the Barcode-to-PC scanning application MUST be set for the devices to function correctly. See [How to Set up the #LS Prefix for your Scanner](/doc/how-to-set-up-the-ls-prefix-for-your-scanner-IfD0a8FcV3).

:::


:::warning
**Important: Keyboard Settings**

Ensure your **keyboard layout** is set to US English. Otherwise, QR code and barcode scanning will not work properly inside the [**Inventory**](/doc/inventory-manager-vOW2yRV1Eg) module.
