Value-level handheld readers are for standard barcode applications ranging from linear barcodes up to 2-D direct part marks. HS-1 and HS-2D provide a plug and play experience. Barcode output can plug directly into Microsoft Office programs. HS-1 is a handheld linear CCD reader for decode of linear barcodes in applications such as printed black and white labels. HS-2D is said to be ideal for any high-contrast automated data application from clean rooms to industrial environments. Is for decoding linear barcodes and 2-D symbols in applications such as high-contrast black and white labels. Reads symbols in any orientation and includes a built-in dual LED targeting system. Both are designed to withstand rugged industrial environments.
