This hand-held scanner’s optional hands-free presentation cradle enables additional advanced data capture capabilities, including: signatures, images of documents such as driver’s licenses and insurance cards; photographs; OCR for the capture of printed text; and MICR for automated capture of check-related data and conversion of check-based transactions to electronic paperless debit transactions. Additionally, it has a radio range up to 300 feet, bypassing other scanners of this type.
Honeywell’s Xenon 1902 wireless area imaging scanner offers industry-leading performance. This hand-held scanner offers a long-lasting lithium-ion battery that ensures maximum uptime as well as three focal options for application specific scanning. This sixth-generation of area-imaging technology features a custom image sensor that is optimized for barcode scanning.
The Gryphon 4000 series represents the premium level of data collection devices for general purpose applications. Designed with people in mind, the Gryphon 4400 imager blends advanced 2D reading with motion sensing technology, producing a user-friendly device with outstanding performance.
