The scanning system is functionally identical to a solid state, one line TV camera. There are no moving parts to wear out, break, or need adjustment.  Available models include interfaces for industrial, commercial, and retail point of sale applications.  The easy to hold design allows the user to scan in a wrist neutral position. This design, along with the light weight of the scanner, reduces fatigue and repetitive motion injuries.  The scanner can be operated with a manual trigger, or in the autotrigger mode, providing operational flexibility to the user.  High resolution CCD imaging and advanced electronics allow the scanners to reliably read poor contrast and soiled symbols.  Modular design allows for quick and easy cable changes (eg. from RS-232 to keyboard wedge). This allows one bar code reader to be used in multiple environments.
