Microscan ID20 Value Barcode Reader
The Omron Microscan 7213-2050-0000 Value Barcode Reader, also known as the MicroHAWK ID-20, is a discontinued compact 1D/2D barcode reader designed for industrial applications. While it was previously an affordable and versatile option for reading both linear (1D) and 2D barcodes.
Imaging and Decoding:
- Image Sensor: 5MP CMOS color sensor with global shutter technology captured high-resolution images for accurate barcode reading, even on small or poorly printed codes.
- Decoding Capability: Supported a wide range of 1D and 2D barcode symbologies, including:
- 1D: UPC/EAN, Code 39, Code 128, Codabar, etc.
- 2D: Data Matrix, QR Code, PDF417, Micro QR Code, etc. through the X-Mode decoding algorithm.
- Decoding Speed: Delivered a standard speed of up to 5 frames per second (fps) for both 1D and 2D barcode reading.
Performance:
- Reading Distance: Up to 50 mm for both 1D and 2D codes, offering some flexibility in barcode placement and scanning scenarios. This distance is shorter than some other models in the 7213 series, so consider your specific needs.
- Field of View: High-Density optics provided a good balance between reading range and barcode size compatibility for both 1D and 2D codes.
Design and Connectivity:
- Compact Design: Miniature footprint (34mm x 24mm x 39mm) for easy integration into space-constrained environments.
- Single-Cable Solution: Used a Micro-B USB cable for both power and communication (USB 2.0), simplifying setup and reducing cabling complexity.
- Durable Construction: IP40-rated plastic housing protected against dust and water, ensuring reliable operation in industrial settings.
Additional Features:
- Trigger Modes: Supported both manual and hands-free triggering for flexible operation.
- LED Indicators: Provided visual feedback on scanning status and potential issues.
- User-friendly Configuration: Allowed easy customization of settings to match specific application needs.
Overall, the Omron Microscan 7213-2050-0000 Value Barcode Reader might have been a suitable option for reading both 1D and 2D barcodes in industrial settings due to its compact size, reliable performance, and user-friendly design
