HP Retail Integrated Barcode Scanner

With rich feature sets, the HP Retail Integrated Barcode Scanner represents the premium level of data collection equipment for general purpose point of sale applications. The HP scanner has enhanced optics with improved motion tolerance, allowing codes placed on fast-moving objects to be easily and quickly captured, creating the ideal scanner for tasks requiring high throughput like those found in retail environments. The scanner includes the following features:

●Omni-Directional Operation: To read a symbol or capture an image, simply present to the scanner and the object sense, read, and decode automatically take place. The HP Retail Integrated Barcode Scanner is a powerful omni-directional scanner, so the orientation of the symbol is not important.

●Intuitive Aiming System: The “Green Spot” for good-read feedback helps to improve productivity in noisy environments or in situations where silence is required. While using the scanner with its multi-orientation capabilities, the aiming pattern can work as an aiming system to aid in positioning the bar code for quick and intuitive reading.

●1D and 2D Symbol Decoding: Reliably decodes all standard 1D (linear) and 2D bar codes, including:

◦GS1 DataBar™ linear codes

◦Postal Codes (China Post)

◦Stacked Codes (such as GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked, GS1 DataBar Stacked, GS1 DataBar, Stacked Omnidirectional)

The data stream — acquired from decoding a symbol — is rapidly sent to the host. The scanner is immediately available to read another symbol.

●Imaging: The scanner can also function as a camera by capturing entire images or image portions of labels, signatures, and other items.

●Mobile Phone Scanning: The scanner is designed with enhanced motion tolerance and technology to optimize contrast levels. These features allow quick reading of barcodes off of mobile phones and PDAs.

●Flexible Orientation: When mounted in application, the scanner's orientation feature allows for flexible 2-axis positioning, permitting each user to optimize for their set up and scanning.
