When designing Focus, the goal was to leapfrog the competition and develop a new set of standards providing users unique, time saving, and technological advancements, meeting the needs of today's marketplace and for years to come. Metrologic accomplished this challenge and are able to introduce features such as a depth of field that ranges from 0"to 9.5"for standard 0.33 mm (13 mil) barcodes, stand detection that automatically switches the hand held scanner to a presentation scanner once it is placed in the stand, and let’s not forget the object detection sensor that instantly initiates scanning, via CodeGate, once an object is within the scanner’s field of view. CodeGate is an intuitive scanning system that is ideal for all scanning applications, including menu scanning, Point-of-Sale, document processing, and inventory, just to name a few.

FocusBT BlueTooth Imager:

MS1633 FocusBT® Metrologic's new Bluetooth model of the Focus scanner is the top-of-the-line merging 2D wireless Bluetooth technology with aggressive "FirstFlash" scan performance.

FirstFlash^TM increases productivity and efficiency with unmatched first pass scan rate.
Removable Li-ion Battery allows for 24 hour scanning.
RangeGate allows users to be outside Bluetooth range and capture barcode data.
Remote battery charging reduces the need for counter space.
Scan up to 7 barcodes at once and output data in the proper order.

The FocusBT was originally designed for the healthcare industry, ideal for bedside medication verification and pharmaceutical check out counter. Now POS systems are finding the FocusBT to be of value with the age verification application integration, front end point-of-sale and light inventory capabilities. When cashing out at registers, the ability to automatically switch from presentation mode to hand held makes this scanner very versatile. The FocusBT has two removable battery packs allowing for 24/7 scanning. The batteries have power switches which allow the user to completely power off the unit for longer battery life.

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.
