Handheld CCD barcode scanner

The Adesso NuScan 2500CU is a handheld CCD barcode scanner built for countertop and mobile data capture. It reads the majority of 1D barcodes using a 630 nm visible red LED and a 300 scans-per-second engine. The unit connects through USB and operates without driver installation on Windows and Mac systems. A 6.00 ft cable and spill-resistant housing support continuous use in retail and light-industrial settings.

Suited for single-cable 1D workflows

This scanner fits workstations that need a tethered, driver-free solution for standard 1D symbologies at up to 20 inches range. It is not suited for operations that require 2D or QR code reading, wireless freedom beyond the cable length, or presentation-style hands-free mounting without an optional stand.

300 scans per second CCD engine

The scanner’s CCD engine delivers 300 scans per second with a depth of field reaching 20 inches on 20 mil EAN-13 codes at 90 percent print contrast. This single specification determines whether the device can keep pace with your throughput and working-distance requirements.

Questions about this item

How much desk space does the 2.70" x 3.70" x 6.75" scanner need?

The handheld unit measures 2.70 by 3.70 by 6.75 inches and weighs .38 lb, so it fits easily on a countertop or in a drawer without a dedicated mount.

What is the driver-less USB setup step that users often skip?

Plug the 6.00 ft USB cable into a 5 VDC port, wait for the OS to recognise the HID keyboard device, then scan a test barcode to confirm the 300 scans per second engine is active.

When should the 630 nm visible red LED be checked or replaced?

The solid-state LED is rated for the life of the scanner; if scan contrast drops below PCS 30% on 10 mil codes, clean the window first — no user-replaceable lamp exists.
