This Honeywell MK9540-37A38 VoyagerCG 9540 black handheld single-line barcode reader with USB cable and stand scans and decodes linear one-dimensional (1D) barcodes, including GS1 DataBar and RSS codes. The barcode reader can be handheld or placed in the included stand for use while in a fixed vertical position. A 650-nm laser produces a single line of light that can scan barcodes at a speed of up to 72 scan lines per second in continuous mode. A CodeGate setting automatically activates the laser to display a scan line when a barcode is placed within range of the device’s infrared (IR) sensor but prevents barcode data from being transmitted until a button is pushed to help reduce accidental scans. The reader has tri-colored LEDs to indicate status and can be programmed to beep when a barcode has been successfully scanned. The included USB cable connects the barcode reader to the host system (not included) to transmit barcode data. An RS-232 cable, keyboard wedge, IBM-46xx (RS485), OCIA, Laser Emulation, or light pen wand emulation (all sold separately) can also be used. For a complete set of product specifications, please see the manufacturer’s brochure.

* L is length, the horizontal distance from left to right; W is width, the horizontal distance from front to back; H is height, the vertical distance from bottom to top.

Barcode scanners, also known as barcode readers, can be used to scan and decode barcodes and to transmit barcode data to a computer or another host system. Barcode readers with a single-line laser can be used to scan linear, one-dimensional (1D) barcodes. Some lasers can produce light in an omnidirectional pattern to allow scanning of barcodes from different angles. Other barcode readers contain CCD (charge-coupled device) light sensors instead of a laser for accuracy and wear resistance. Barcode scanners with raster scanning, area imaging, and other scanning technologies can allow scanning of two-dimensional (2D) or Portable Document Format 417 (PDF417) barcodes, among other types. Some barcode readers provide onboard flash memory to allow the storage of barcode data before transmitting it to a computer or host system through a USB cable or wireless WLAN or Bluetooth connection. Many barcode readers have a handle for handheld use and come with a stand or a charging cradle for fixed position applications, while others are designed for stationary use on a counter or another flat surface. Some portable readers are small enough to be carried in a pocket or attached to a lanyard. Barcode readers are used at retail checkout counters and other points of sale (POS) locations and in warehouses and shipping facilities.
