Handheld 2D USB scanner

The HP 4AK34AA is a corded handheld barcode scanner that connects through a single USB port. It reads both one-dimensional and two-dimensional symbols using a 2D imaging engine with a white LED light source. The unit weighs 0.26 lb and measures 2.70" x 5.70" x 3.97".

Retail, logistics and light industrial use

This scanner suits checkout counters, stockrooms and parcel processing where 1D codes such as EAN-13 and UPC-A and 2D codes such as QR Code and Data Matrix are scanned at arm's length. It is not for wireless mobility, presentation-style hands-free mounting or long-range scanning beyond the stated depth of field.

2D imaging engine with ≥ 4 mil resolution

The scan engine resolves symbols down to 4 mils and captures 1D, 2D and postal symbologies including PDF417, Micro QR, Aztec and Maxicode. Pitch tolerance reaches ±45 degree and roll tolerance covers ±180 degree, while the minimum print contrast ratio is 25%.

Questions about this item

What does the 4 mil resolution mean when scanning small barcodes at the counter?

The scanner reads codes as small as 4 mils, so it captures high-density 2D symbols like Data Matrix or QR codes printed on small labels or mobile screens.

How does the USB interface limit cable length and power in daily use?

USB power keeps the scanner running at 165.8 mA typical without an external supply, and the cable stays within standard USB length limits for reliable data transfer.

What physical space and mounting options does the 2.70 x 5.70 x 3.97 inch handheld need?

The 0.26 lb unit fits in one hand and sits in a small cradle or hook; no fixed mounting hardware is required for countertop or mobile workflows.
