Description
The SCANTEAM 3400 PDF 2X hand held CCD Scanner from Welch Allyn offers faster PDF417 decoding performance in non-contact scanning range and pistol grip housing from the ST3400. The new PDF 2X hardware and software enhancements to the ST3400 nearly double decoding performance for PDF417. The ST3400 PDF 2X also supports Macro-PDF, a variation of PDF417 that links separate PDF labels into a single data file. This scanner reads linear bar codes as well.
Like the ST3400, the ST3400 PDF 2X scanner may be configured to scan medium density codes at a distance. The decoding data output and serial (RS-232) communication parameters for the instant interface decoder in the scanner may be customised to the application by scanning bar codes in the programming menu. The ST3400 PDF 2X scanner is a complete PDF417 scanning solution.
Applications
With the faster PDF417 decoding, increased depth of field, and pistol-grip housing of the ST3400, the ST3400 PDF 2X opens up a wider range of applications in retail distribution, government agencies, shop floor, health care, transportation, pharmaceuticals, and many other industries.
PDF417
PDF417 is an exciting new two-dimensional symbology developed by Symbol Technologies. The symbology offers high density, high capacity storage with very robust error correction and flexible aspect ratios. These features mean PDF symbols can be designed for a range of label sizes and that PDF labels can be partially destroyed and still offer secure data reads. PDF417 can be used as a "portable data file" providing low cost access to large amounts of data at the point of scanning without referencing an external database. The technology is also a paper-based communication protocol for transferring data between systems without re-keying or re-entering.
Handleboard Connects Scanner Directly to Terminal or Keyboard
Quick connectivity to host RS-232 communications port. This eliminates the need for a separate decoder between the scanner and the host. Customise decoding, data output and serial communications parameters with bar code programming menu.
