Microscan ID20 Value Barcode Reader
The Omron Microscan 7213-2050-0001 Value Barcode Reader, also known as the MicroHAWK ID-20, is a discontinued compact and versatile 1D barcode reader designed for industrial applications. While it was previously an affordable option for reading linear barcodes.
Imaging and Decoding:
- Image Sensor: A 5MP CMOS color sensor with global shutter technology captures high-resolution images for accurate barcode reading, even on small or poorly printed codes.
- Decoding Capability: Primarily focused on reading 1D barcode symbologies, including UPC/EAN, Code 39, Code 128, Codabar, etc.
- Decoding Speed: Delivered a standard speed of up to 5 frames per second (fps) for 1D barcode reading.
Performance:
- Reading Distance: Up to 50 mm for 1D 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 good compatibility with various 1D barcode sizes.
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 7213-2050-0001 Value Barcode Reader might have been a suitable option for reading 1D barcodes in industrial settings due to its compact size, reliable performance, and user-friendly design.
