| "The wider
field of this scanner picks up our narrower bar codes a lot
easier, we had several Symbol laser units deployed but we had
trouble with smaller barcodes under certain lighting conditions
or less than ideal scanning conditions (plastic bags etc). Net
result is less work per scan on average." - Nate Chadwick, Director
of Technology, ProMedDx, LLC, Norton, MA

This durable and ergonomically designed USB barcode scanner is the best
value handheld in its class. It offers the performance of a laser scanner
with no moving parts to wear out at a lower cost. The CCD scan engine can
read smaller barcodes better than many lasers scanners and still read large
barcodes. It scans linear bar codes that are up to 4.2" wide from near contact
to about 10" away at 200 scans per second. To integrate this scanner with
an application, refer to IDAutomation's document about
how to scan data into
applications.
Advanced capabilities & features:
- Performance: This product outperforms others priced below
$200 in quality, range and performance. Unlike many low cost scanners,
it quickly and easily decodes barcodes at various angles and distances
using patented technology.
- Long Range Scanning and Focus: Average size bar codes are
easily decoded when pulling the trigger anywhere from 4" to 8" away.
Many other low cost barcode readers require pulling the trigger at precise
distances from the barcode.
- Ergonomically Designed: It is lightweight and designed to
fit comfortably in the hand for extended periods of usage.
- Projection Modes: This model features both handheld and fixed
projection modes, as well as long-range activation and an adjustable
stand (optional) for automated operation.
| "Plug
and play ease and the ability to receive barcode input as
keyboard input was the reason we purchased IDAutomation’s
scanner. Development time on a new application was significantly
cut by being able to treat barcode reading as simple key
press (The application is web-based; we can just use JavaScript
to interface with the scanner.)" - Peter Landry, PLEXUS
Corporation, Providence, RI |
- Function Key Emulation Mode: The built-in decoder may be
programmed to
emulate
function keys as well as other keys such PgUp, PgDn, Backspace,
Tab, Enter, Esc, Insert, Delete, Home and End. To activate this ability,
simply enable "Function Key Emulation Mode" by scanning the appropriate
barcode in the manual. When enabled, lower ASCII codes in the Code 128
barcode will simulate pressing this key on the keyboard. For example,
an ASCII 23 (0x17 in the manual) digit encoded in a bar-code will send
the same codes to the computer as if the F7 function key was depressed.
Because the scanner manual only lists hexadecimal numbers, refer to
the ASCII chart
for conversions.
- GS1-128 (UCC/EAN-128) Decoding: This scanner has the ability
to decode the FNC1 codes in
GS1-128 (UCC/EAN-128) barcodes according to the
Application Identifier Standard.
- Decodes Lower ASCII Characters: This scanner is compatible with
IDAutomation's Barcode
Scanner ASCII String Decoder when Function Key Emulation is disabled.
- Free software included: With each purchase of this product, a license is provided for the use of IDAutomation's
Free Barcode Font,
Free
Barcode Label Design Application and the
Barcode Scanner ASCII
String Decoder. Generally, these products
may only be used by non-profit organizations. However, when this product is purchased from IDAutomation, a license is granted without
this limitation according to the
license agreement. The software may be downloaded once the purchase
is completed.
Specifications:
| "I am very pleased with my
purchase; this low cost scanner is comparable to the higher priced scanners in
the market. Our company’s efficiency has increased by using your product, we are
now able to use bar coded data from a fixed workstation. The IDAutomation Plug
n’ Play scanner, I would recommend it to everyone. Thank you for an excellent
overall experience with your company." – William T. Speckman – IT Manager Ecce

Scanner Test Results:
Many scanners on the market do not fully support
GS1-DataBar
and PDF417, as
this scanner does. This scanner also outperforms many other low priced CCD
scanners and offers performance equal to many laser scanners that are priced
much more. This barcode reader easily decoded IDAutomation's
Code 39 bar code font
when printed as small as 6 points (4 mil) and as large as 48 points (32
mil), as well as any size between. Unlike other low cost CCD scanners, this
scanner focuses very well on barcodes and even reads poorly printed barcodes.
This scanner requires 120mA of power from the USB port; if the USB port cannot
supply this much power, IDAutomation recommends considering a
Barcode Wand.
Programming the USB Barcode Scanner:
The Hand Held USB Scanner is ready to use out of the box in most situations.
By default, the common barcode types such as Code-39, Code-128, UPC and
EAN are enabled. The manual provided with the scanner is structured well;
it allows the ability to program the scanner by scanning bar codes in the
manual. Video on Programming a Symbology to Read.
Several scan mode options can be set, as well as the ability to
add preamble, prefix, suffix or postamble data. By default, this scanner
has the suffix of 0D, which inserts a carriage return after the barcode
is scanned. To disable this, program the suffix string setting to 00 (for
null) or 09 for a tab. Video on
Using the String Setting Feature to Program a
Tab.
This scanner also includes advanced programming options
not found in other products, such as the ability to
scan function
keys from a barcode and the reading of
GS1-128
(UCC/EAN-128)
FNC1
and FNC2 codes. When Function Key Emulation is disabled, the scanner is
fully compatible with IDAutomation's
Barcode Scanner ASCII
String Decoder, which reveals hidden ASCII codes such as <GS> and <RS>.
With
each purchase of this scanner, a free license is provided to the
IDAutomation Barcode
Label Software, IDAutomation Code 39
Barcode Font and the and the
Barcode Scanner ASCII
String Decoder. The software may be downloaded once the purchase is completed.
