Question 1

Do Riotec scanners need special software?

Accepted Answer

No — most connect as a plug-and-play keyboard wedge over USB, so scanned data drops into whatever field has focus. No drivers or SDK needed for standard till and stock apps.

Question 2

Can Riotec scanners read QR codes and Data Matrix?

Accepted Answer

The 2D imager models read QR, Data Matrix and other 2D symbologies as well as standard retail 1D barcodes. The 1D laser models read linear barcodes only.
