A USB scanner, imager or reader works
just like your mouse or keyboard. Place the cursor where you
would like information entered, scan the barcode, and the
information contained in the barcode will be displayed on
your form in plain text as if you had entered it yourself
with your keyboard. These barcode scanners and readers are
totally plug and play. They require no software or drivers.
USB scanners are also powered by the computer power supply
and require no external power supply or “wall wart”.
Compared to laser scanners, CCD barcode
scanners are extremely durable and require less maintenance.
CCD scanners do not require a laser light source or moving
parts and therefore use very little power. CCD readers use a
complex of hundreds of sensors to read ambient light
reflected by the barcode. As a result they are well suited
for warehouse or field use. Their compact size and light
weight is also convenient for office use.
Pen or laser scanners emit, read and
measure light emitted by the scanner itself.
Linear imager scanners use a "Linear
Imaging Sensor" to take an image of the barcode. This sensor
is a single row of light sensitive pixels generally used to
scan one dimensional or linear barcodes. Because these units
have no moving parts, they are generally more rugged then
laser scanners.
Wireless Barcode Scanners
Benefits
* Increase productivity by providing freedom to roam to merchandise or inventory
* Fast, accurate entry of barcode data into your DOS, Windows 9x, 2000, ME, XP, NT and Macintosh applications * Increase reliability by eliminating the cable (which is subject to wear and tear)
The Wasp WWS800 Freedom Wireless Barcode Scanner Kit is a veritable workhorse that gives you the freedom to roam while staying connected via Bluetooth™. The WWS800 Freedom Wireless Barcode Scanner allows you to move your scanner to the inventory instead of moving your inventory to your scanner. The Freedom Wireless Barcode Scanner uses Bluetooth technology, which allows you to scan barcodes and transmit the data from up to 160 feet (line-of-site) from the base. In Batch Memory Mode, you can work outside the 160-foot line-of-site range. Effectively, that means you can scan and store multiple barcodes located out of the 160-foot line of site. Scan barcodes from 1 to 10 inches away with the Freedom’s aggressive CCD scan engine. With a battery life of 30 hours (20,000 scans) and a drop specification of almost 5 feet (1.5 meters), the Freedome is capable of meeting the demands of a rigorous work environment.
The kit comes complete with a Bluetooth wireless barcode scanner, Bluetooth radio/recharge base, and cable for the base. The base performs two functions: it recharges the battery and supports wireless operation of up to seven scanners. Ideal for warehouse, factory floor, field service, and retail environments. The Wasp Freedom Wireless Barcode Scanner supports Microsoft Windows, Microsoft NT, DOS and Macintosh applications.
