The Datalogic QuickScan QBT2101 / QBT2131 is a cordless Bluetooth® 1D linear imager for fast, reliable reading of linear barcodes – including long codes on bills, documents and packaging – thanks to its extra-wide 56° scan angle and sharp, extra-long scan line. Datalogic's Green Spot confirms every good read, a tool-free replaceable 1400 mAh battery lasts for 30,000+ reads per charge, and the scanner connects either through the BC2030 Bluetooth base station (QBT2131 kits) or directly to PCs, tablets and smartphones (iOS / Android) via Bluetooth HID. It comes with a 3-year Datalogic warranty. This version, QBT2101-WH-BTK+, is white and is supplied with a Micro USB charging cable but without a base station – it pairs directly with your Bluetooth device.
📦 What's in the box – QBT2101-WH-BTK+
- ✅ Datalogic QuickScan QBT2101 scanner – white, 1D linear imager, Bluetooth 3.0
- ✅ Rechargeable battery – Li-ion, 1400 mAh, tool-free replaceable – charge fully before first use
- ✅ Micro USB cable – charges the scanner from a PC USB port or a USB charger (wall adapter not included)
- ❌ Base station – not included – the scanner pairs directly with your PC, tablet or smartphone via Bluetooth
💡 How it connects: scan the pairing barcode in the quick reference guide and pair the scanner directly with your Bluetooth-enabled PC, tablet or smartphone (iOS / Android) – as a keyboard (HID) or serial port (SPP). For a plug-and-play USB or RS-232 connection to a POS system, add the Datalogic BC2030-WH-BT base station (needs an interface cable) or choose the QBT2131-BK-BTK1 kit.
💡 Charge the scanner through the Micro USB port on its foot. For multi-shift use add a spare battery RBP-QMBT2X-WH; the Datalogic gooseneck stand STD-QD24-WH keeps the scanner at hand on the counter.
Key Features
- 1D linear imager – reads all standard 1D barcodes, including GS1 DataBar and EAN/UPC composites. Please note: it does not read 2D codes such as QR codes or Data Matrix; for those, choose the 2D Datalogic QuickScan QBT2500.
- Extra-wide scan angle and extra-long scan line – a 56° field of view and a sharp, highly visible scan line make long barcodes easy to read even at close distance.
- Enhanced depth of field – from 1 cm up to 45 cm on 13 mil EAN/UPC and up to 70 cm on 20 mil codes, resolution down to 4 mil and 400 reads per second.
- Cordless Bluetooth freedom – Bluetooth 3.0 Class 2 with up to 25 m range (open air, with the base), data encryption and scanner authentication; works with the BC2030 base or directly with iOS and Android tablets, smartphones and PCs (HID/SPP).
- Tool-free replaceable battery – a 1400 mAh Li-ion pack lasts for 30,000+ reads per charge, and each new battery pack also renews the charging contacts. Charge in the base or through the Micro USB port on the scanner foot.
- Batch mode – stores more than 500 barcodes in memory when you are out of range and sends them once the connection is restored.
- Datalogic Green Spot – a green light projected onto the barcode confirms every good read, even in noisy environments.
- Easy integration, built to last – the BC2030 base offers USB, RS-232 and keyboard wedge multi-interface; free Datalogic Aladdin configuration tool, OPOS/JavaPOS utilities and remote host download; withstands repeated 1.5 m drops, IP42, 3-year warranty.
