A series of straight or curved scanning lines of varying directions, in the form of a “starbust” Lissajous pattern or other multi-angle arrangements, are projected at the symbol. One or more of them be able to cross all of the symbol’s bars and spaces, no matter what the orientation ( assuming the bars are tall enough)

High-speed bar code scanner saves time and delivers versatility, switching easily between handheld and hands-free operation. The 100-line rastering omni-directional scan pattern lets you quickly capture codes no matter how they are presented, and high performance optics enables superior data capture on a wide range of bar codes — from 13 mil (100% UPC) to 4 mil (Code 39). Its remote scanner management capability helps reduce costs by enabling centralized remote management of devices. Its small footprint and integrated Checkpoint Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) antenna save counter space. To ensure compatibility with new standards, the device supports the GS1 DataBar symbology and 14-digit Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) bar codes.

How to choose the right type of Barcode Scanner?

Today’s top leading barcode scanner manufactures have created more aggressive (snappy) barcode scanners that scan array of different types of barcode symbologies. From upc’s to 2 dimensional barcodes like the data matrix.

Usb connected Barcode Scanners

These types of barcode scanners are easiest to set-up because you only need to plug them into your usb port and they simply emulate your keyboard. They are usually the lowest cost of implementing a barcode scanner into your application. Barcode Scanners like the Voyager MS9540 http://northamericanbarcode.com/product/ms9540-voyager-barcode-scanner-htm/ are easy to set-up, come with everything in the box you need to get started scanning your 1D Barcodes.

2D Barcode Scanners
Are called imagers or area imagers, they can read all barcodes 1D and  2D in any orientation, this is a great feature if your barcodes are laid out both in picket fence and ladder orientation.

Check out Motorola’s new DS9808 http://northamericanbarcode.com/product/symbol-ds9808/ it will cover all your scanning needs.

Bluetooth and Wireless Barcode Scanners

Wireless and Bluetooth scanners work by connecting the home base to your work station via, usb, serial or keyboard input. The home base acts like a charger and communicator for pure freedom.

If you work in a storage warehouse, yard or loading dock, using such a scanner is suitable since there are no wires to trip over or become entangled and you can scan items at different angles. With cable-free scanning, the barcode reader can send information back to the PC and receive information from the PC.

Honeywell’s MS9535 bluetooth scanner provides a approximately 30 feet of freedom from your work station.  http://northamericanbarcode.com/product/honeywell-voyager-bluetooth/

Thanks you for taking the time read my blog..

stay tuned for next regarding omni directional scanners
