## Pricing

- **Price:** $94.50 (inc GST) — $85.91 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 6+ $81.62 (exc GST) · 12+ $78.18 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- Available with a lead time — expect dispatch between Sep 16 and Sep 21.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=DFR0660:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/DFR0660:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

By using the intelligent image recognition algorithm, this module can easily decode all kinds of common 1D/2D codes. Through the onboard micro USB and UART interface, it can be directly plugged into a computer or integrated to various devices. The module is configurable via scanning ‘configuration mode’ so as to meet some strict scanning requirements. Besides that, with an onboard light source, this scanner can work well even in the dark and provide consistent scanning performance in the extreme temperature range.
