Introduction
Metrologic’s TECH 8 laser bar code projection scanner is encased in an NEMA-12 steel case. The
scanner’s construction enables the scanner to operate in harsh surroundings, especially industrial
environments. Water-resistant, shock-resistant, and rugged, the TECH 8 scanner is also fast,
aggressive and reliable. It can register bar codes at a range of 203mm - 457mm (8" - 18") and can
autodiscriminate among all common codes.
Among the scanner’s many features is an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) in the
decoding system that virtually eliminates misreads and MECCA (Metrologic Enhanced Code
©
Correcting Algorithm). MECCA enables the scanner to read poorly printed, wrinkled or even torn
©
bar codes on the first pass.
The scanner has been configured at the time of manufacture based on information supplied at the time
of order.
