Simple, versatile setup program

An intuitive Windows®-compatible setup program simplifies setup of operating parameters. No more complex, labor-intensive programming.

Both single-scan and raster-scan types are available

Single-scan reads barcodes using one scan line. This is the best choice for stable, high-speed production lines.

Raster-scan reads barcodes using multiple scan lines. This type excels at accurate reading of flawed barcodes, such as those with ink spots or voids.


Barcode management during the PC board mounting process. Reliably reads barcodes printed on PC boards regardless of vibration or the random position of the target.
