The Opticon C37 is a lightweight, ergonomically shaped handheld scanner engineered for comfort and efficiency during long scanning sessions. Designed to fit naturally in any hand, this compact reader excels in busy retail counters, warehouses, libraries, and healthcare environments where speed and accuracy matter. With multiple popular interfaces and straightforward programmability, the C37 adapts to your workflow, helping you streamline operations and improve productivity from day one.

  • Ergonomic, all‑day comfort: The C37’s balanced form and smooth contours reduce hand fatigue during extended shifts. Its lightweight construction and easy-grip design enable users to scan quickly without sacrificing comfort, whether used by right- or left-handed operators. This ergonomic focus translates into faster checkouts, reduced user strain, and improved accuracy across high-volume tasks.
  • Versatile connectivity for diverse environments: Choose from USB, Keyboard Wedge, or RS232 interfaces to match your existing POS systems, inventory desktops, or legacy equipment. USB offers plug-and-play simplicity, Keyboard Wedge lets you scan data directly into any text field, and RS232 provides reliable serial communication for older hardware. The C37 supports seamless integration in new installations and upgrades alike.
  • Easy programmability for tailored workflows: The C37 is designed to be easily programmable to suit your application. Configure common scan settings, specify prefixes or suffixes, adjust beeper tones, and fine-tune decoding behavior to align with your business processes. This flexibility minimizes training time and ensures your scans feed the exact data your systems require.
  • Reliable decoding of everyday barcodes: Optimized for rapid decoding of the most widely used barcodes, the C37 delivers swift performance at the point of scan. Whether you’re processing product SKUs, loyalty cards, or shipment labels, the reader's decoding engine is designed to deliver accurate reads quickly, reducing checkout lines and inventory reconciliation time.
  • Durable, low-maintenance design: Built to withstand the demands of a busy frontline environment, the C37 emphasizes durability without sacrificing ease of use. Its robust enclosure protects internal components, while simple cleaning and minimal maintenance keep downtime to a minimum so you can keep scanning with confidence.

Technical Details of Opticon C37 Handheld Bar Code Reader

  • Interfaces: USB, Keyboard Wedge, RS232 — providing flexible host connection options to fit your current hardware ecosystem.
  • Programming: Easily programmable to tailor performance to your application, enabling quick setup and adjustments as needs evolve.
  • Form Factor: Lightweight, ergonomic handheld design optimized for comfort and efficiency during extended scanning sessions.
  • Compatibility: Works with common point-of-sale systems, inventory management software, and data collection workflows through standard interface modes.

How to install Opticon C37 Handheld Bar Code Reader

  • Step 1: Identify the preferred interface for your setup (USB, Keyboard Wedge, or RS232) and ensure your host device is powered on and ready to pair with peripheral devices.
  • Step 2: Connect the C37 to your host using the chosen interface. For USB, plug the connector into a free USB port; for Keyboard Wedge, connect to the keyboard/Data input line; for RS232, attach the serial cable to the appropriate port on your POS or PC.
  • Step 3: If you’re using USB HID (Keyboard Wedge or USB), the C37 generally operates in plug-and-play mode; you may hear a confirmation beep when the connection is recognized. For RS232, ensure the correct serial settings are selected on the host (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits) according to your system requirements.
  • Step 4: Power on the scanner if it has a dedicated power switch, or simply begin scanning once connected. Scan a few test labels to verify data is transmitted to your application field correctly and that any required prefixes/suffixes are configured as needed.
  • Step 5: If you need to customize behavior, access the C37’s programming mode according to the user guide, adjust settings (with the preferred interface active), save the configuration, and perform a final scan test to confirm the changes are effective.

Happy licking brain stimulation!
Color: black
We have a very active 1 year old field golden and we needed something else to stimulate her brain. This has worked out beautifully for that. At first she would want to try to pick it up or move it with her paw but a few corrections and training and she’s learned to just lick at it. It stays well planted in the floor and doesn’t tip over. I had to knock it one star for its ease of use and cleaning. The inside bowl has “fins” inside that make it difficult to stir things up and mix together or to clean. Other than that minor gripe we really love it and would buy again. The enjoyment our girl gets out of is definitely worth the money. It’s been through the dishwasher several times and show no signs of wear and tear so it’s well built. Happy licking!!!

My dogs new favorite toy
Color: black
Giving it five stars because ultimately my dog loves it, it's easy to use (for the human too in terms of filling and cleaning), it feels good quality, and it serves it's purpose as advertised. I do however think this product could be improved. It'd be awesome if it clipped into some sort of weighted tray because my dog moves this thing around the room by licking. I may try to 3D print something - solid product though, worth the money.

Frustrating but crazy fun
Color: blue, Color: blue
Maybe it’s just me and my breed of dogs but I bought 4 and within 30 seconds of placing them all down on the floor at the same time, we were down to 3… I have 3 German shepherds and a mastiff… 1 shepherd licked once and then took the whole thing in her mouth and ran out the doggy door…( if you own a German shepherd I hope this message finds you) it’s been an hour and I still can’t find the new bowl…so now we are down to 3… I blended some wet dog food and mixed with Greek yogurt for one… texture was smooth but the ball wouldn’t move fast enough for said shepherd so after some adjusting of the consistency… I still couldn’t figure it out…so as one pup is licking one ball, I grabbed the pumpkin puree and yogurt and it was still too thick… so I watered it down with a little bit of Vienna sausage juice…which now of course the crew is waiting for Vienna sausages to be dispersed among this group of terrorists….and as I’m dispersing, I noticed the bowl of wet dog food was upside down and the pumpkin puree bowl was on its side leaking orange liquid out the top… I’m still working on consistency for the remaining bowl… (mind you, we have already had breakfast which consisted of sausages from the oven as we love beer brats for breakfast… 3 cans of wet dog food that all the babies line up for and are spoon fed -and a couple pieces of cheese as I was prepping dinner) ok so now I have a runnier consistency with adding that sausage juice…got it to where I could move the ball pretty easily but then once again it got too dry and the ball just kept getting licked and nothing was sticking to it…when taking the device apart, I noticed that the liquid has no problems being licked up but the problem is that the thicker product gets stuck on the sides and the ball can’t pick it up for some reason… it needs to be nectar consistency or thinner for my family…as I’m seeing… during this whole time I’m mixing different consistencies on my counter… holding on to one with my foot as they do not stand up against large breed mouths, slide all over and also trying to make sure they stayed safe in the home as these were not the cheapest…and holding one in my hand for my special needs shepherd…these things were slipping all over the floor. They are heavy and feel durable but someone back me up here… I have learned so much about my breed of the GSDs… but my life has changed so much since having these babies because learning what can stand up to these dogs is a daily-no-HOURLY TASK. My dogs do not find enrichment activities fun. They bore easily and that’s probably my fault… so when I saw these enrichment bowls I was pumped!! The treat mats, (were shredded within minutes of realizing we couldn’t get treats out quickly) the boxes with the *whack-a-mole” cheese stick games…the poor Amazon box that I so carefully cut holes into did NOT see my shepherds mouth coming… these special toys that the dogs have to roll around to release a treat… no. No. No. I’m still finding chunks of THAT poor toy… these should not be called ‘slow feeder dog bowls’ liquid treats yes but the videos of the dog owners making the yummy stuff to go inside need to be a little more specific… as we all know, all dogs are different… but this product was supposed to entertain the puppers for a little bit but 24 hour supervision is required in this home which is not ideal… I need to get a few things done daily without the assistance of 3 Velcro dogs… impossible with the new enrichment bowls… I’m not going to return them, my dogs love them once they understand to stay put and lick but my dogs consume things so fast that now it’s just another activity to do with them daily which is fine… but if you have certain breeds it might save your couches and shoes from being chewed but now with the way I have to monitor these things and constantly refill the bowls…( my dogs had them cleaned out in about 3 minutes each) all in all, this was not a smart purchase for me as it’s now added more work to our already busy routines… I can only do 1 star…aftermath photos

Good for a laugh at least and a messy kitchen
Color: black
While design, quality, and ease of cleaning are great!! These are not for highly food motivated dogs and puppies. My senior dog (100lbs) took a couple licks, he immediately proceeded to pick it up as one unit and carry it to his bed where immediately tore it apart to get to the good stuff. ~ I will say that it is durable and did not fall apart as he carried it. My 7mo old puppy (60lbs) was intrigued and quickly impatient and was able to flip it over and while this only made a little pumpkiny mess, what he did next was hysterical! He picked it up on the edge and threw up in the air and the mess surprised even him but only for a moment. He promptly did it again and on the third time he was able to break the top loose from the bottom and quickly cleaned up the toy and the mess on my kitchen floor and cupboards. Fair warning for those with energetically food motivated labs!! These have since been donated to local shelter with the same warning.

Great for dogs
Color: blue
My dog is obsessed with this! I put plain yogurt thinned with homemade broth in it and he’s entertained for a good 15 minutes, as well as being fairly calm afterward.
