The CM-008 barcode scanner is a device specifically designed for use in point-of-sale, medical, and ticket reading systems. It is designed to be fixed to a machine using screws, which makes it easy to integrate into existing systems. Additionally, the scanner comes with a hook that can be used to hold the cable and fix the scanner to a table.
