Scanners
You can answer that in two minutes without asking us. Open the browser on the scanner and load app.stocktakesonline.com. If the sign-in page appears, the app will run on that device.
The hard part on an older scanner is not the app — it is whether the device still recognizes the security certificate the portal uses, from a list built into it when it was made and never updated since. The browser checks exactly that, which is why this test is worth more than our list.
Stocktakes Online is an Android app for Zebra rugged scanners, from the compact TC22 to the cold-store MC9400. It runs on Android 5.1 and newer, which is most of what is sitting in American drawers — so the scanners you already own are probably enough.
| Run on these | Android | What that proves |
|---|---|---|
| Zebra TC8000 | 5.1.1 | 2015 hardware and the oldest we have counted on. Also the floor — below 5.1 the app will not install |
| Zebra MC3300x MC330L-GJ3EG4RW | 11 | Scanned to the server on a colleague's own device, October 2026. MC330L is the MC3300x; the original MC3300 is MC330K or MC330M, which we have not run |
| Zebra MC9300 series MC930B-GSCDG4RW | 13 | Same day, same result — and this one shipped years ago on an older Android, so it is also proof that updating a scanner beats replacing it |
| Zebra MC3400 | 14 | A full two-site count, October 2026. This is the device it is built on |
| Zebra MC9400 2D-ER | 14 | The same count. Its extended-range imager also reads a label on a sheet of paper from a few centimeters, which a long-range scanner is not supposed to do |
That is the whole list, and it is short on purpose. Five devices spanning Android 5.1.1 to 14 is nine years of hardware, which tells you more than a longer list would: the app does not care what the model is, it cares that the scanner hands a barcode to the screen as typed text. The part numbers are there so you can match yours exactly — read it off the back of the device, or off your asset register.
Everything else Zebra makes on Android 5.1 or newer should work, and you can prove it in two minutes without us — open the browser on the scanner and load app.stocktakesonline.com. If the sign-in page appears, the app will run on that device. The hard part on an older scanner is not the app; it is whether the device still recognizes the security certificate the portal uses, from a list built into it when it was made and never updated since. The browser checks exactly that.
Not run by us yet — the range the app is built for, which is exactly why the test above exists.
One that will not work: the MC3200 (MC32N0). It shipped on Android 4.4, below the 5.1 floor, so Stocktakes Online will not install on it — and unlike everything above, that is not worth testing. It is the oldest Android device in the MC3000 family and the answer is already known.
Tell us the model number and we'll tell you straight whether we have run it. We say which ones we have tested and which we have not, because a scanner that turns out not to work on count night is not a small problem.
Honeywell, Datalogic and the rest. The app needs the scanner to hand a barcode to the screen as typed text ending in Enter, which every industrial Android scanner can do — but each brand sets it up in its own utility, and we have only done it on Zebra. Ask about yours and we'll work through it with you.
We've sold and supported Zebra hardware for thirty-five years, and we'll spec the right unit for your aisles, your freezer and your budget — that advice is free and it's the part we're good at.
In the United States there is nothing behind that advice we could sell you. Zebra's own locator will find a reseller near you.
Still not sure? Send us the model number. Read it off the back of the device or off your asset register — something like MC330L-GJ3EG4RW — and we will tell you straight whether we have run it, whether we expect it to work, or whether it is below the Android floor. We say which ones we have not tested rather than implying we have.
