When
designing the MS1690 Focus Barcode Image Reader, the goal was to leapfrog
the competition and develop a new set of standards that provided users
with unique, time saving, and technological advancements, meeting the
needs of today's marketplace and for years to come. Metrologic accomplished
this challenge and have been 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 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.

scanner, visit the

FocusBT BlueTooth Barcode Imager:
Metrologic's
new Bluetooth model of the MS1690 Focus Barcode Image Reader is the
top-of-the-line merging 2D wireless Bluetooth technology with aggressive
"FirstFlash" scan performance.
- FirstFlashTM 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.
- Optional Healthcare Software Loaded.
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 this scanner is to read the barcodes on
the back of Driver Licenses, 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.
