Product Overview
Metrologic's MS9500 Voyager
®
series of hand-held (single-line) laser scanners
offers the user an aggressive solution for scanning all standard 1D bar codes
including GS1 DataBar™ (RSS) bar codes. The MS9500 series is equipped with
both in-stand and out-of-stand operation enabling hand-held or fixed projection
scanning. The MS9520 Voyager model includes all of the same features as the
MS9540 VoyagerCG model, with the exception of Metrologic’s patented
CodeGate
®
technology.
The MS9540, VoyagerCG incorporates Metrologic’s patented auto-trigger and
CodeGate button feature. When a bar code is place in the scanner’s IR range,
the auto-trigger activates the laser enabling the user to align the visible laser line
over the bar code selected for scanning. The user can then press the CodeGate
button, to transmit the data to the host system. When the MS9540 is placed in
the stand the CodeGate button feature will automatically deactivating for hands
free operation.
Some additional key product features for the MS9500 series include:
• Auto-trigger operation and auto-stand detect
• CodeGate data transmission technology (MS9540 only)
