SCANTECH ID (Champtek company) Pollux P-4010 - Manual (Page 6)

Preface
The Pollux P-4010 is an innovative, high performance food retail scanner, com-
bining unequalled performances with enormous installation flexibility. It has a
unique four-directional sealed optical assembly, allowing it to be turned inside
the fixed scanner housing. This new benchmark for vertical supermarket and
hypermarket scanning ensures an ergonomic and user-friendly implementation
wherever it is installed. The Pollux is also one of the flattest scanners available
today, making installation at the check-out even easier.
The dense scan pattern of the Pollux guarantees excellent omni-directional bar
code reading and the new Scantium decoder chip gives the scanner unrivalled
multi-decoding power. An important feature of the Pollux is the Goldrush polygon
technology. Evaporated gold on the polygon makes it ultra light, giving longer
motor life and faster ‘wake-up’ times from the energy saving sleep mode.Two
versions of the Pollux are available, one unit has RS232C and OCIA interfaces
and the other has IBM RS485 and Keyboard Wedge interfaces. An auxiliary port
for connecting another Scantech scanner is standard.
