The Motorola DS457-SR20009 fixed-mount barcode reader can be used at a point of sale or a production line to scan and decode linear one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), and Portable Document Format 417 (PDF417) barcodes. A laser produces lines of light in an omnidirectional pattern to scan barcodes on labels or cell phone screens at different angles. A trigger can be used to scan barcodes by hand instead of automatically. The barcode reader contains a 624 MHz processor to decode barcodes. A cable (sold separately) and on-board interfaces can be used to connect the barcode reader to a computer or host system.
A mounting accessory can be used to mount the barcode reader to a counter or surface. The barcode reader's footprint makes it suitable for small spaces. The barcode reader weighs 3.9 oz. and measures 1.15 x 2.44 x 2.3 inches (H x W x D). (H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back. ) It can withstand drops of up to 30" on a concrete floor. The barcode reader is suitable for use with Motorola 123Scan software (available separately for download).
