Invisible UV Barcode Scanner

An Invisible UV Barcode Scanner designed for verification and anti-counterfeit applications, equipped with a 365 nm UV LED light source to accurately detect UV-printed barcodes that are invisible under normal lighting conditions.

This scanner supports a wide range of barcode formats, including 1D barcodes, 2D barcodes, QR codes, and Data Matrix, making it suitable for mixed-use environments where both UV and standard barcodes are present. In addition to UV barcodes, it is also capable of reading regular 2D barcodes printed on paper, allowing seamless operation without switching devices.

With a USB interface for easy integration, the scanner can be quickly connected to PCs, laptops, or industrial systems, making it an ideal tool for internal verification, quality control, and spot-checking tasks where reliability matters more than scanning speed or volume.

We prioritize reliability, allowing our customers to trust in the exceptional performance of our products. With CANMAX, you can expect unmatched quality that sets the industry benchmark.

About UV Barcodes

The CM-2D202UV invisible UV barcode scanner uses a 365 nm UV LED light source, which is the most commonly used wavelength for reading UV fluorescent barcodes.
Before using a UV barcode scanner, it is essential to confirm that your UV barcode appears clear and bright under a 365 nm UV light. (For reference, most UV nail lamps used for gel manicures also operate at 365 nm.)

UV Barcode Print Quality Matters More Than the Scanner

In most cases, UV barcode readability issues are caused by barcode print quality rather than the scanner itself.
To ensure reliable scanning performance, please carefully inspect the quality of your UV barcode:

The fluorescent substance in the UV ink must be sufficient to produce a clear contrast under UV LED light.
Prolonged exposure to sunlight or long-term storage may cause the fluorescent material to degrade, resulting in a very dim UV barcode.
In such cases, the barcode may become difficult or impossible to read.

Recommended UV Barcode Types and Printing Guidelines

For better readability, we recommend using Data Matrix or QR code formats for UV barcodes. When printing UV barcodes, please note the following guidelines:

Avoid excessive ink that causes dots or modules to merge together.
Maintain a barcode size of at least 10 × 10 mm.
Keep encoded content concise; no more than 20 alphanumeric characters is recommended.

These factors significantly improve the success rate of UV barcode scanning.
