Caution Triangle with Exclamation Mark This product uses a Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) connection method that is different from our Bluetooth Classic data readers and requires a supported software application. Before purchasing, please confirm your app uses the latest version of Socket Mobile's CaptureSDK or contact us to discuss your requirements.

With a scanning range of 2 to 19 inches, the S741 captures barcodes that are often difficult for standard scanners, including tiny labels, worn codes, and low-contrast prints. It supports 1D, 2D, DotCode, and OCR formats such as OCR-A, OCR-B, OCR USC, OCR Passport, and OCR MICR, making it well suited for identity verification and travel document scanning.

For retail environments that require age verification for regulated products like alcohol, cannabis, and tobacco, the S741 serves as a single-device solution. Employees can verify IDs and complete transactions without switching hardware.

The S741 is lightweight, ergonomically designed, and built for all-day use. Bluetooth Low Energy technology helps extend battery life while maintaining stable wireless connections. LED and audible indicators provide clear feedback on battery status, connection, and scanning activity.

For optimal performance, ensure your application supports the latest version of CaptureSDK 2.x.
