The
4600g General Purpose Area Barcode Imager from Hand Held Products
combines the versatility of area imaging with the speed and cost of
linear scanning for retail and commercial applications. Powered by
Adaptus™ Imaging Technology 5.0, the 4600g is full featured, fast,
and cost effective.
An increasing number of retail and commercial applications are now
using much more than linear barcodes. Grocery stores are beginning to
use EAN/UCC composite codes, PDF417 codes are used for age verification
and new postal barcodes are used to sort mail. The omni-directional
reading capability of this area barcode imager allows fast and easy
reading of all these types of barcodes and more. Equipped with
Adaptus Imaging Technology 5.0, the 4600g provides exemplary image
quality and image transfer speed. With no moving parts, the 4600g is
as durable as it is versatile. Whether acquiring a signature as proof-of-delivery,
capturing a picture for identification, or even storing data electronically,
image capture has become a mainstream requirement and will continue
to be an important part of current and future solutions.
Free software included - With each purchase of the 4600g General
Purpose Area Barcode Imager, a license is provided for the use of IDAutomation's
Free Barcode Font,
Free Barcode

Barcode Scanner
ASCII String Decoder. These free products may only be used by non-profit
organizations, although a license is granted without this limitation
according to the

The software may be downloaded once the purchase is complete.

After enabling the two-dimensional Print Quality Assessment feature,
IDAutomation was able to validate the quality of printed 2D barcodes
including Data Matrix, Postnet and
Intelligent
Mail symbols with the 4600g. Below is the output received from the
imager after enabling this feature and scanning some slightly defective
barcodes that still scanned properly.

If this scanner is used to verify or transmit lower ASCII control
characters and functions, such as what is documented in the
MaxiCode FAQ, the Control + ASCII Mode must be enabled by scanning
the barcode below. Lower ASCII values may be viewed with IDAutomation's
free Barcode
Scanner ASCII String Decoder.

Users of this scanner may also
download the "Quick*View Software Utility", which is a Windows-based
software program that displays decoded symbol messages and captured
images. For additional assistance, please
contact Hand Held Products.
Reading Drivers Licenses:
Testing in IDAutomation's lab concluded that
Florida Driver Licenses were easily read with this model imager. However,
please be advised that many states encrypt this data and it may not
be readable without the encryption key that only that state can supply.
Military ID's are all encrypted and will require the encryption key
that only the military can supply.
If the intention is to use these scanners to read the barcodes on
the back of Driver Licenses, please be advised
that many states encrypt this data and it may not be readable without
the encryption key that only that state can supply. Military ID's are
also encrypted and will require the encryption key that only the military
can supply.
