Datalogic, the European leader for hand-held reader
sales, offers the market a new omni-directional reader.
The Datalogic Catcher™ guarantees outstanding reading
performance in distribution and retail applications thanks
to its state-of-the-art optics and electronics. The omni-directional
reading pattern of 20 lines and 1,500 scans per second
assure the highest "First Pass" decoding rate, an important
feature in applications that require immediate and intuitive
reading.
The Datalogic Catcher's™ architecture offers unique
functions to the market. The advanced technology used for
decoding increases the reading performance by making it easy
to read damaged or poorly printed codes. The Data Editing
and Data Formatting modes allow the code to be completely
formatted before the information is sent to the host.
In addition, thanks to the flash memory, the reader can be
updated on the field, providing it with new functions and
allowing it to read new symbologies.
Two models of the Datalogic Catcher™ are available: the
Datalogic Catcher™ D531 multi-interface (USB, RS232 and
Wedge) and the Datalogic Catcher™ D511 that combines the
standard serial interface with complete connectivity to
IBM46xx cash registers. Both models are provided with the
"Single Line" option: by simply pressing the button on the
reader, the omni-directional pattern becomes a single line,
which is very useful for manual reading of codes close to
each other.
The readers can also be configured in "stand-by" mode to
minimize consumption when the scanner is not in use: the
scanner will automatically "wake-up" when it detects a code.
Confirmation of the code read is provided by a beeper that
can be heard in loud environments and a bright led that can
be seen even in well-lit environments.
The Datalogic Catcher™ is the ideal solution for "check-out"
counter applications in Retail markets and "front-desk"
applications in Office automation markets such as manual
reading of documents, envelopes and small packages in post
offices and couriers.
