Omron Microscan 7212-1081-0000 Value Barcode Reader

Microscan ID20 Value Barcode Reader

The Omron Microscan 7212-1081-0000 Value Barcode Reader, also known as the MicroHAWK ID-20, is a compact and versatile reader. It is designed for various industrial applications requiring reliable reading of 1D barcodes in space-constrained environments. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:

Key Features:

• Compact Design: Measuring only 34mm x 24mm x 39mm, it’s one of the smallest full-featured barcode imagers available. Thus making it ideal for robots, drones, embedded systems, and other space-limited applications.
• High-Resolution Imaging: Equipped with a 1.2MP SXGA CMOS sensor (1280 x 960 pixels), it captures detailed images for accurate reading of even small, complex, or damaged barcodes.
• 1D Decoding: Reads a wide range of 1D barcode symbologies, including UPC/EAN, Code 39, Code 128, and more. While it doesn’t read 2D barcodes like QR codes or Data Matrix, it’s suitable for applications where only 1D codes are used.
• Standard Density Lens: Offers a focus range of 81mm, suitable for reading barcodes at moderate distances.
• Moderate Read Range: Reads barcodes from a distance of up to 133mm (5.2 inches), which may be a limiting factor for some applications.
• Standard Decoding Speed: Processes images at up to 42 frames per second, ensuring efficient data capture for most use cases.
• Durable Construction: IP40-rated for protection against dust and limited water exposure, enabling use in moderately harsh industrial environments.
• Single-Cable Solution: Uses a Micro-B USB port for both power and communication (USB 2.0), simplifying setup and reducing cable clutter.
• Multiple Mounting Options: Offers various mounting options for flexible installation.
• Advanced Features: Includes software triggers, multiple data outputs, and user-defined fields for enhanced functionality.

Additional Notes:

• This model is a good choice for applications where compactness, affordability, and reliable reading of 1D barcodes at moderate distances are essential, particularly in space-constrained environments.
• It’s often used in retail, manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare settings where space efficiency and 1D barcode reading are important.
• While not the most rugged option, its IP40 rating allows for use in moderately dusty or moist environments.
• Compared to other models in the 7212-1081 series, it lacks 2D barcode reading capability and has a shorter read range than some models like the 0004 and 0005. If you need to read 2D barcodes or a longer range, consider those options.
• If reading primarily 1D barcodes is sufficient, a more affordable option like the 7212-1082-0000 might be suitable.

Overall, the Omron Microscan 7212-1081-0000 Value Barcode Reader is a compact and user-friendly option for space-constrained environments requiring reliable reading of 1D barcodes at moderate distances, offering a good balance between size, performance, and affordability.
