Choosing a Ticket Scanner
You can connect a range of Ticket Scanners to Spektrix. Most organisations choose Zebra or Saveo Ticket scanners.
You should consider the following when deciding upon which model is best for your organisation:
- Whether you need a combined Ticket Scanner/Android device (i.e a scanner with built in connectivity)
- Whether you want a Ticket Scanner to use with your own Android or Apple device
- Whether you want to use the scanner indoors with Wi-Fi connectivity or outdoors with a 4G connection
