Honeywell’s MS4980 compact area-imaging scanner offers aggressive scanning of all 1D, PDF & 2D bar codes in a lightweight, durable & portable form factor. The scanner also features a sleek & elegant design that blends seamlessly in retail environments. Automatic infrared object detection enables robust & easy presentation scanning, while patented Code Gate technology provides precise targeting & scanning of closely grouped bar codes. The MS4980 delivers an array of advanced features that enhance productivity. Aggressive reading of bar codes on highly reflective surfaces, such as mobile phone screens, eliminates the need to purchase additional specialty hardware. A 1.2 mega-pixel CMOS sensor allows the scanner to capture high resolution images of signatures, identification cards & personal checks. An intelligent multi-interface design distinguishes the MS4980 from competitive scanners. The scanner has three dedicated memory banks—each one capable of storing full configurations for RS232, keyboard wedge & USB (Universal Serial Bus) interfaces. Automatic cable detection & configuration simplifies scanner management by eliminating the need for manual configuration after the change of an interface cable. Total Freedom™ expands scanner functionality by allowing image processing, decoding & formatting plug-ins to be loaded directly to the MS4980 instead of the host system. The MS4980 is small enough to be held in the palm or worn on the back of the h&. Its compact size also allows it be mounted anywhere, including in self-service scanning kiosks. Features Aggressive Pass-Through Scanning: Enhances productivity by enabling cashiers to capture bar codes moving rapidly past the scan window Flexible Licensing Solution: Meets diverse scanning requirements by offering models with limited decoding capabilities—purchase decoding licenses to enable additional functionality as the need arises Infrared Object Detection: Minimizes operator fatigue by providing hands-free presentation scanning Intelligent Multi-Interface Design: Provides automatic cable detection & configuration, reducing overall system costs Code Select: Scans up to 7 bar codes in a single flash & outputs data in any predetermined order Total Freedom: Expands scanner functionality by allowing image processing, decoding & formatting plug-ins to be loaded directly to the scanner instead of the host system Wide Field of View: Excels at scanning wide bar codes & OCR fonts close to the face Mobile Phone Reading: Scans bar codes directly from the screen of a mobile device
