Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Instinctive Reading Distance on the Datalogic Heron scanner?
The Datalogic Heron is based on the "Instinctive Reading Distance" concept, which allows it to read barcodes from near contact to over 20 cm away. This flexible reading range makes it suitable for various POS scanning scenarios without requiring precise positioning by the operator.
What material are Datacard Plastic ID Cards made from?
Datacard Plastic ID Cards are made from 100% PVC and are manufactured to the size and thickness of standard credit cards and ATM cards. These cards can be produced in white or any color, and are cut from large plastic sheets as thin wafers or can be made as sandwiches that encapsulate proximity wires.
What is the green spot feature on the Heron barcode scanner?
The "green spot" is a Datalogic patent application feature that provides good read feedback directly on the barcode itself, where the user is typically looking. This innovative indicator helps operators quickly confirm successful reads and improves scanning efficiency at the point of sale.
Can smart chips or magnetic stripes be added to Datacard Plastic ID Cards?
Yes, Datacard Plastic ID Cards can be manufactured with embedded or adhered smart microprocessor chips, memory chips, or magnetic stripes. This allows for enhanced functionality such as ISO magnetic stripe encoding or smart card capabilities when used with compatible card printers.
Can the Datalogic Heron be used in hands-free mode?
Yes, the Datalogic Heron includes an AutoSense stand in the package that enables hands-free operation. When placed correctly in the stand, the reader automatically switches to hands-free mode and the green spot remains visible to guide code positioning for intuitive reading.
What surface finish is recommended for direct-to-card printing on these cards?
For optimal direct-to-card printing results, Datacard Plastic ID Cards should have a smooth, glossy surface texture that is free of dirt and debris. This surface preparation ensures the best print quality and adhesion when using compatible Datacard ID card printers.
What connectivity options does the Heron barcode scanner offer?
The Datalogic Heron is available in multiple models with different interface sets. The standard D130 multi-interface model provides RS232, USB, WEDGE, and WAND connectivity, while other models like the D110 offer complete connectivity to IBM cash registers and additional options.
What card thicknesses and materials do Datacard printers accept?
Datacard ID card printers accept ISO ID-1/CR-80 sized cards (3.370 in. x 2.125 in.) in various materials including PVC, ABS, PET, PET-G, and polycarbonate, with card thickness ranging from 0.25 mm to 1.0 mm (10 mil to 40 mil). This compatibility makes Datacard Plastic ID Cards suitable for use across the full range of Datacard printer models.
What is the reading performance and depth of field for the Heron scanner?
The Heron delivers up to 270 reads per second with a maximum read rate of 15%. Depth of field varies by bar code resolution: 5 mils ranges from 5.0 to 15.0 cm, 10 mils from 2.0 to 35.0 cm, and 20 mils from 2.0 to 60.0 cm, depending on printing resolution and ambient light conditions.
