Netum CS7501 is a wireless handheld 2D imager for reading 1D and 2D barcodes in retail stores, warehouses and order picking operations. Its 1280×800 sensor reads barcodes from distances up to 420 mm. One of the model’s key features is a physical switch for selecting Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz or completely turning the scanner off. The scanner has a 2000 mAh battery, while the wireless range reaches up to 65 m.
What is the Netum CS7501 wireless barcode scanner?
Netum CS7501 is a handheld 2D imager with a 1280×800 CMOS sensor for reading linear 1D and two-dimensional 2D barcodes. The scanner supports QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417, Aztec, MaxiCode and common 1D barcode formats. Minimum resolution is 3 mil for 1D codes and 5 mil for 2D codes, while the reading distance reaches up to 420 mm depending on the barcode.
Data Matrix support allows the Netum CS7501 to read Data Matrix codes used on electronic excise stamps in Ukraine’s e-Excise system. This is relevant for alcohol stores and other retailers working with excisable goods carrying electronic markings.
Who is the Netum CS7501 for?
Netum CS7501 is suitable for tasks where 1D and 2D barcodes need to be scanned while moving freely between the checkout, shelves, storage racks or order picking area.
- Retail stores for scanning products at the checkout and directly near shelves
- Alcohol stores and other retailers of excisable goods for reading Data Matrix codes
- Grocery stores and supermarkets selling excisable goods
- Warehouses for goods receiving, picking and inventory
- Online stores for order picking and verification
- Workstations where the scanner needs to alternate between Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz connections
- Tasks where scanned barcodes need to be stored outside the wireless coverage area
Not suitable for: for fixed checkouts with a high continuous customer flow where hands-free scanning is required, a desktop or omnidirectional scanner is a better choice. For demanding industrial environments requiring a specific IP rating, choose a model with a manufacturer-specified protection class.
Advantages of the Netum CS7501
The main practical feature of the Netum CS7501 is that Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz and power off are controlled by one switch on the scanner body. The user can quickly change the wireless connection method depending on the workstation.

- Bluetooth range up to 20 m in line of sight
- 2.4 GHz wireless range up to 65 m in line of sight
- Reading of 1D and 2D barcodes including QR Code and Data Matrix
- Minimum resolution of 3 mil for 1D and 5 mil for 2D codes
- Depth of field from 25 to 420 mm depending on barcode type and size
- 2000 mAh battery
- Trigger, continuous and auto-sensing scan modes
- Storage mode for saving scanned data and transmitting it later
- 127 g weight for handheld operation
Is the Netum CS7501 suitable for Ukraine’s e-Excise system?
Netum CS7501 is technically suitable for reading Data Matrix codes used on electronic excise stamps because the scanner supports the Data Matrix format. This makes it suitable for alcohol stores, tobacco retailers, stores selling liquids for electronic cigarettes and other retail locations working with the corresponding electronic excise markings.
The scanner performs the code reading. Further verification and processing of electronic excise stamp data depend on the software and workflow configured at the retail location.
How is it different from the Netum CS8501?
Netum CS7501 and CS8501 support 1D and 2D barcodes, Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz wireless connection and use a 2000 mAh battery. The CS7501 has a 1280×800 sensor, while the CS8501 uses a 1280×1024 sensor. The models also differ in minimum contrast and reading distances for individual barcode types, so the choice should take into account the size and quality of the barcodes that will be scanned most often.
Where is the Netum CS7501 used?
Netum CS7501 is used in retail, warehouses, pickup points and order picking operations. The model works with standard product barcodes as well as 2D markings. Data Matrix support also makes it relevant for alcohol stores and other retailers of excisable goods.
Its wireless design is especially useful when products need to be scanned away from a computer. For example, a stationary workstation can use the 2.4 GHz receiver, while a compatible mobile device can use Bluetooth. Changing modes only requires moving the switch on the scanner body. The same switch can be used to turn the scanner off after work.
What is it used with?
The scanner can be used with equipment for product labeling and sales. Custom barcodes can be printed with an Xprinter XP 235B label printer and 40×25 mm TOP labels, 1000 pcs. The workstation can also be equipped with a Gprinter GA E200 receipt printer for printing non-fiscal documents.
Questions and answers
How do you switch between Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz?
The Netum CS7501 has a dedicated three-position switch on the scanner body. It allows you to select Bluetooth or 2.4 GHz and completely turn the scanner off.
Why are there two wireless modes?
Bluetooth is convenient for direct connection to devices that support this standard. The 2.4 GHz mode works with the corresponding USB receiver and provides a manufacturer-specified range of up to 65 m in line of sight.
Does the Netum CS7501 read Data Matrix?
Yes. Netum CS7501 supports Data Matrix as well as QR Code, PDF417, Aztec, MaxiCode and other 2D barcode formats.
Can the Netum CS7501 be used for Ukraine’s e-Excise system?
Yes. The scanner is technically suitable for reading the Data Matrix code used on an electronic excise stamp. Further processing of the stamp data depends on the software used at the retail location.
Can it scan outside the wireless coverage area?
Yes. Netum CS7501 supports storage mode. Scanned barcodes can be saved in the scanner and transmitted after the wireless connection is restored.
Can the scanner be used with a cable?
Yes. In addition to Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz, the model supports a wired connection via USB Type-C.
How to choose a barcode scanner?
Choose the Netum CS7501 if you need to scan 1D and 2D barcodes, work away from the computer and quickly change the connection method. The Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz and power switch is especially convenient for workstations where the same scanner is used in different scenarios during the day. Data Matrix support also allows the scanner to be used for reading electronic excise markings on excisable goods.
