The New Enhanced QuickScan QW2100 Linear Imager
The QuickScan Lite QW2100 linear imager has been very well received by the market since it was first introduced in early 2012 with features such as a wide scanning angle, a long and high visible scanning line, snappy performance and the benefits of Datalogic’s ‘Green Spot’ technology. Because of the success of the QW2100 linear imager, Datalogic started offering this imager in the mature markets of EMEA and the U.S. in October of 2013.
With the QW2100 imager continuing to perform well and grow in popularity, Datalogic continues to enhance its’ products in order to bring additional value to the customer. With this in mind, Datalogic is releasing an ‘enhanced version’ of the QW2100 imager which will be available on a global basis.
Datalogic Announces their New QuickScan QW2100 Linear Imager
Datalogic has announced the worldwide availability of the QuickScan QW2100 linear imager. Since its original limited availability release to some markets in early 2012, over several hundreds of thousands of QW2100 have been sold in less than 2 years. This product has been well received by the customers within these regions and offers a strong, mature foundation for this worldwide release.
Datalogic believes in developing products that are based on various key points such as technological advancements, market trends, customer needs and the customer return on investments (ROI) requirements. Datalogic has over 40 years of experience in developing ADC products. Building upon its position as a leading pioneer of imaging technology, Datalogic continues to be in the forefront of linear and area imaging technologies for the corresponding markets. While there are specific market needs that may dictate the use of a laser bar code scanner, linear imager technology is able to offer multiple alternative 1D scanning options such as: solid state construction, which ensures no moving parts and less percentage of mechanical failures, ability to scan codes from mobile phones and computer screens, bright and more visible scan line, and an excellent price/performance ratio in the marketplace. In recognizing the varying market and investment needs of their customers, Datalogic offers a portfolio that spans multiple ADC linear imaging solutions.
Motorola LI2208 : The Next Generation 1D Scanner
Building on the long standing popular design of the LS2208 series, the new LI2208 brings more features and greater reliability to your daily operations. With a new linear imager vs the previous laser scan engine, the LI2208 reads any 1D barcode be it on paper, a mobile phone screen, or even high density codes.
The LI2208 is a cost effective solution to increase productivity and effectiveness in any scanning application while expanding the possible implementations of barcodes in your business.
Motorola’s New LI2208 Offers Best-In-Class Performance and Value
Motorola has released their newest edition to their handheld scanner line with the LI2208 general purpose corded linear imager for capturing virtually every 1D bar code. Based on the all the key design advantages of the successful LS2208 scanner, the LI2208’s best-in-class 1D scanning performance and range will allow workers to scan faster and farther to improve productivity and reduce customer wait times.
The LI2208 was designed with productivity in mind and is the perfect crossover from traditional laser based scanners. Utilizing linear imaging technology it can capture printed 1D bar codes on a variety of label materials and electronic bar codes displayed on mobile device screens that allow retailers to easily process loyalty cards and mobile coupons. It can also capture high-density bar codes commonly used in specialty retail and electronic component manufacturing.
Improve and Expand Your Scanning Capabilities with Motorola’s LI2208
Scanning barcodes has become such a standard and integrated part of many businesses it is easy to think that all scanners are essentially the same. While this may have been more true in the past with traditional laser scanners, recent advances in imaging technologies have brought expanded capabilities to scanners without increases in costs.
The same type of hardware that is being used for cameras in smartphones and tablets is also being used to make better barcode scanners. These new scanner types are called imagers since they are essentially capturing a picture of the barcode and then decoding it. Historically, imagers have been quite a bit more costly than a standard laser scanner but with new units like the Motorola LI2208, we now have imaging scanners at the same cost as a laser scanner.
So what exactly are the advantages of moving to an imager based scanner exactly?
Motorola Introduces The New LI2208 Linear Imager
The Motorola LI2208 general purpose corded linear imager delivers the same reliability and ergonomics of our most popular scanner, the LS2208, with enhanced features that let you scan more types of bar codes, faster and at a greater distance. Whether your workers are scanning bar codes printed on paper labels or electronic bar codes displayed on the screen of a mobile phone, tablet or computer, they can count on unparalleled performance, every time.
The patented optical design delivers an industry-leading working range, from near contact to as far as 55 in./139.7 cm away — ideal for large items in the basket at the retail POS as well as components on a conveyor. In addition, scanning has never been easier — bar codes can be captured at extreme angles, so workers spend less time fiddling with the scanner and more time on task.
The New Datalogic Touch TD1100 Linear Imager
Datalogic has announced the availability of the new Touch TD1100 linear imager contact reader. The Touch TD1100 reader is a linear imager alternative to low-cost laser scanners. It has been developed to enhance the very successful (but dated) Touch 65/90 Pro and Lite models. The Pro and Lite readers have been very successful in the last 10 years and are among the major revenue generators of all time for Datalogic’s handheld product range.
The Touch TD1100 readers feature a stylish new design combined with enhanced performance and durability to provide the new Touch readers with all the requisites needed in
order to compete with a higher-range class of competitive products.
The Touch TD1100 series of linear imaging contact readers represents Datalogic’s solution for customers who require a cost-effective solution for close-contact bar code reading without sacrificing quality or performance. Designed for low throughput applications within multiple markets, the Touch TD1100 readers provide the guarantee of contact reading with an excellent reading capability on virtually all linear bar codes, including damaged or poorly printed codes. Small, lightweight and low on energy consumption, the Touch TD1100 readers continue to provide robustness with a 1.5 m / 5.0 ft drop resistance, which is typical of higher range products.
