The Datalogic QM2130-BK-910 QuickScan handheld barcode reader is black, comes with a charging base, and can be used to scan and decode linear one-dimensional (1D) barcodes. The barcode reader contains CCD (charge-coupled device) light sensors that can scan barcodes at a speed of up to 235 scans per second in continuous mode. CCD barcode scanners are typically more accurate than laser scanners and more resistant to wear. Wireless capability allows the barcode reader to transmit data from up to 40" away from the charging base. A batch memory mode enables the reader to store barcode data when it is away from the base and automatically transmit that data when it is back within wireless range. The charging base can be connected to a host system to transmit barcode data (cable and host system each sold separately). A latch can be used to secure the barcode reader to the charging base for use on a mobile cart. A cable (sold separately) can be used to connect the barcode reader to a host system to transmit barcode data. The barcode reader weighs 6.7 oz. and measures 6.7 x 3.5 x 2.7 inches (H x W x D). (H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.) The charging base weighs 6.4 oz. and measures 3.1 x 5.1 x 3.5 inches. It can withstand drops of up to 4.9" on a concrete floor.Barcode scanners, also known as barcode readers, can be used to scan and decode barcodes and to transmit barcode data to a computer or another host system. Barcode readers with a single-line laser can be used to scan linear, one-dimensional (1D) barcodes. Some lasers can produce light in an omnidirectional pattern to allow scanning of barcodes from different angles. Other barcode readers contain CCD (charge-coupled device) light sensors instead of a laser for accuracy and wear resistance. Barcode scanners with raster scanning, area imaging, and other scanning technologies can allow scanning of two-dimensional (2D) or Portable Document Format 417 (PDF417) barcodes, among other types. Some barcode readers provide onboard flash memory to allow the storage of barcode data before transmitting it to a computer or host system through a USB cable or wireless WLAN or Bluetooth connection. Many barcode readers have a handle for handheld use and come with a stand or a charging cradle for fixed position applications, while others are designed for stationary use on a counter or another flat surface. Some portable readers are small enough to be carried in a pocket or attached to a lanyard. Barcode readers are used at retail checkout counters and other points of sale (POS) locations and in warehouses and shipping facilities.Datalogic manufactures barcode readers, mobile computers, sensors, vision systems, and laser marking systems, among others. The company, founded in 1972, is headquartered in Bologna, Italy.What"s in the Box?Barcode readerCharging base
