Datalogic QuickScan QD2590

Datalogic QuickScan QD2590 is a corded 1D and 2D barcode scanner for everyday work at a desk, counter, packing station or label printing station. It reads codes from labels, documents and smartphone screens, and scans at any angle, without lining up the code with the scanner. It is a simple, proven model from Datalogic, an Italian company based in Bologna, with a five-year manufacturer warranty. It belongs to the QuickScan 2500 series, which also includes cordless versions.

Key features

• Omnidirectional 2D imager: 1D and 2D codes, including QR Code, Data Matrix, postal and stacked codes. The operator does not have to turn the product or document.
• Reading from smartphone screens: codes from apps, emails and tickets are scanned just like from paper.
• Aiming with two blue triangles and Green Spot indicator: the triangles show where the scanner aims, and a green spot on the code confirms a good read.
• 1.5 m drops onto concrete, IP52, trigger rated for 10 million presses: the scanner survives a fall from the desk and daily intensive work.
• USB, USB-C, RS-232 and Keyboard Wedge: depending on the version. Connected via USB, the scanner works like a keyboard, so the code goes into any field in a program without installing drivers.
• Black and white versions, kits with cable and stand: a stand allows scanning without holding the scanner, for example at a packing station.
• 5-year manufacturer warranty: long coverage for a scanner in this price class.

Where it fits

The QD2590 is a general-purpose scanner. It works well at a label printing station, at a goods receipt desk, in offices handling documents, at a service counter and when packing shipments. Anywhere the operator scans codes at close range and does not need an industrial scanner.

It is not a scanner for cold stores or outdoor work: it operates from 0 to +50°C, and IP52 sealing only protects against dust and dripping water. For production halls, forklift warehouses and low temperatures, choose an industrial scanner.

How to choose a variant

• With or without a stand. Choose a kit with a stand when the operator scans many items held up to the scanner. The scanner with a cable is enough for occasional scanning.
• Interface. The USB version is enough for a PC and most POS systems. Choose the multi-interface version when the scanner must work with older equipment over RS-232.
• Corded or cordless. If the operator walks away from the station, for example to a pallet or rack, consider the cordless version from the same series.
• Colour. The white housing suits bright offices and service points, the black one suits workstations.

The scanner as part of a workstation

We supply the QD2590 together with the workstation: with a label printer and HDF Labels, or with a PC in the goods receipt and dispatch process. We configure the scanner for the application, so from day one it scans into the right field in the right format.
