Introduction
Metrologic’s TECH 7 laser bar code projection scanner is encased in an
NEMA-12 steel case. The case construction enables the scanner to operate in
harsh surroundings, especially industrial environments. Water-resistant,
shock-resistant, and rugged, the TECH 7 is also fast, aggressive and reliable. It
can register bar codes at a range of 76mm - 254mm (3" - 10") and can
autodiscriminate among all common codes.
To suit particular applications, two different scan patterns are available: an
omnidirectional pattern of 20 interlocking lines (Model MS770); or a 12-line
raster pattern (Model MS775). The scanner has a VLD design, a scan speed of
up to 2000 lines per second, and uses less than 8 watts of power.
Other features include an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) and
MECCA (Metrologic Enhanced Code Correcting Algorithm). An Application
©
Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) is in the decoding system and virtually
eliminates misreads. MECCA (Metrologic Enhanced Code Correcting
©
Algorithm) enables the TECH 7 scanner to read poorly printed, wrinkled or
even torn bar codes on the first pass.
