The MS1690 Focus is a high performance hand-held area imaging bar code
scanner that utilizes high-resolution CMOS imaging sensors for superior image
quality. Focus utilized Omniplanar, Inc.’s Swiftdecoder™ software, for reliable
decoding of both 1D and 2D bar code symbologies. Sharp images can be
captured and transmitted in a variety of outputs including: .jpg, .bmp, and .tiff.

Omnidirectional scanning capabilities and an extended depth of field width
provides aggressive scanning of all standard 1D, RSS, PDF417, microPDF,
Composite, Matrix and Postal Codes symbology types. Firmware updates are
easily loaded via Flash ROM.

Focus provides an extended depth of field width and a built in object detection
sensor (IR) that instantly turns on the scanner when an object is presented within
the scanner’s field of view. Automatic in-stand detection switches the scanner to
a “presentation” mode for convenient in-stand scanning. Focus incorporates
Metrologic’s patented CodeGate

®

technology for accurate menu style scanning

and on command data transmission.
