Key Features & Benefits
-
Omnidirectional Scanning: Projects a dense pattern of scan lines, allowing it to read barcodes in any orientation—upside down, sideways, or skewed. This “no-look” scanning minimizes operator training and maximizes speed.
-
Exceptional Performance:Â Features a high-speed scan engine capable of decoding all common 1D linear barcodes at industry-leading speeds, even poorly printed or damaged codes.
-
Rugged & Reliable Design:Â Built to withstand repeated 6.5 ft. (2 m) drops to concrete and has an IP42 rating for dust and water resistance, ensuring durability in busy retail or industrial settings.
-
Outstanding Motion Tolerance:Â Excellent at reading barcodes on items passed quickly in front of the scanner, a critical feature for fast-moving checkout lanes.
-
Ease of Integration & Use:Â Features a simple plug-and-play setup with a USB interface. The ergonomic stand is designed for easy integration into existing counter spaces.
-
Advanced Illumination:Â Uses high-visibility LEDs to provide excellent aiming and illumination, making it easy for the cashier to target the barcode, even in low-light conditions.
