Hardware
Works with the scanners
you already own.
Skuflo does not need special hardware. Any scanner that types like a keyboard, a phone camera, or a rugged handheld already set up on your floor will work. Two minutes with the free test tells you for certain.
Any keyboard scannerUSB or Bluetooth, corded or cordless. If it types letters and numbers into a browser, it works with every Skuflo station.
Your phone cameraNo scanner on hand. Open the Skuflo app and point the camera at a barcode or QR code, same result.
Rugged Android handheldsSet the built in scanner to keyboard mode and the Skuflo app reads it exactly like a plugged in scanner.

Not supportedSerial only scanners, RS232 with no USBCannot type into a browser or the app. You will need a USB or Bluetooth model instead.
Not supported1D only scanners, for the QR stepReads Code128 piece barcodes fine, but cannot read a QR code. Fine for barcode only stations, not for the QR check.
Not supportedScanners without Code128 supportA few very old or very basic models only read a handful of symbologies. Check Code128 is on the list before you buy.
Before you buy
anything, check
Most scanners already meet these. If yours does not, the free test tells you exactly what to fix, in plain language.
Reads Code128 and QR
Skuflo piece labels use both. A barcode only scanner still works for production and dispatch, just not the QR check.

Sends Enter after each scan
So Skuflo can tell where one scan ends and the next begins. Almost every scanner can be set to do this.

Label printers
Zebra and other ZPL printersSkuflo prints ZPL II at 4 by 6 inches, 203 or 300 dpi. Point your printer at the label feed and it just works.
Any other label printerPrefer a PDF. Skuflo prints a 100 by 150 millimetre PDF for any printer that is not ZPL, no drivers to configure.
Labels100 by 150 millimetre direct thermal labels, no ribbon needed. Any printer that takes that size works, whether it speaks ZPL or just prints a PDF.
