Introduction

The Voyager™ MS9500 Series single-line hand-held scanners include both the MS9520 and MS9540.

The Voyager MS9540 features Metrologic’s patented CodeGate™ technology. CodeGate is an intuitive scanning system that is ideal for all scanning applications, including menu-scanning, point-of-sale, document processing, and inventory control.

CodeGate works hand-in-hand with Metrologic’s patented automatic- triggering scheme. Simply present a bar code to the scanner; the high- visibility 650-nanometer laser is automatically activated allowing the user to easily select the bar code to be scanned. Press the CodeGate button and the data is transmitted to the host system.

Equipped with both ‘in-stand’ and ‘out-of-stand’ operation, Voyager can be used as both a hand-held and fixed projection scanner. Voyager automatically senses when it is placed in the stand and de-activates the CodeGate button.

If the advantage of CodeGate technology is unnecessary in your application, then the MS9520 is the Voyager of choice. The MS9520 is packed with all of the same features as the MS9540, with the exception of CodeGate.

Metrologic has included many standard features such as: user upgradeable Flash ROM, PowerLink user-replaceable cables, MetroSet™ and METROSELECT® configuration, EMI rating of Class B, data editing (parsing) capability using Bits ‘n’ Pieces™, and a 2-year warranty.
