Alexis Shepard: I plugged it in and it worked. No software to install. No configuration needed. Just plugged it in and used it right away.

Rob C: I have two of these Fangtek scanners that I bought in Oct 2021 and Jan 2022. I've changed settings to use a different suffix and have been happy with the overall reliability. They scan custom CODE-128 barcodes without any trouble, including 2 character barcodes. However, the scanner I bought in July 2022 does not scan the 2 character barcodes. I've read that many scanners deafult to a 3-character miniumum barcode length, but that can often be changed via scanner settings. I can find no similar setting on the Fangtek scanner. I've tried 2-character Code-11 and Code-39 barcodes and still have not been able to successfully scan them. Moreover, it's baffling to me that Fangtek changed the default behavior without a way to revert to the same behavior on the previous two I purchased. 5-stars for value, quick setup, and reliable use of the first two. Minus 1-star since I now need to find a replacement for the third and there isn't any customer support I could find.

Ken Nelson: Purchased to scan the bar codes on the back of gift cards for a church fund-raising application. Purchased two scanners in the event that one eventually failed. Both worked perfectly right out of the box. Very simple set up - just plug in the cable; one end in the scanner - the other end into the USB port of the computer. The software initializes and the scanner is ready to use. I am running Microsoft Word and Excel in a Windows 10 computer, but I think the function is quite universal. Wherever the cursor is positioned, the scanner will enter the value of the bar code followed by a carriage return. The scanner beeps when the bar code read is successful. Before use, I read the instruction booklet, but I didn't need to - the scanner is that simple! Nice design and implementation. I recommend it.
