• USB cable can be connected to a computer or another host system (sold separately) to transmit barcode data.
• Weighs 149 g (5.3 oz.); measures 198 x 78 x 56 mm/7.8 x 3.1 x 2.2 inches (H x W x D).

The Honeywell MK9540-32A38 VoyagerCG handheld barcode reader is black, has a laser and a USB cable to connect to the host system, and can be used to scan and decode linear one-dimensional (1D) barcodes. A 650-nanometer (nm), 825 milliwatt (mW) laser produces a single line of light to scan the barcode. A trigger automatically activates the laser when a barcode is placed within range of the device's infrared (IR) sensor. A CodeGate setting allows the scan line to be visible but prevents barcode data from being transmitted until a button is pushed to help reduce accidental scans. The barcode reader's USB cable can be plugged into the USB port of a computer or another host system (sold separately) to transmit barcode data. A configuration utility allows the firmware to be updated as needed to take advantage of new improvements or features. A stand (sold separately) enables the barcode reader to be used in a fixed position. This product weighs 149 g (5.3 oz.) and measures 198 x 78 x 56 mm/7.8 x 3.1 x 2.2 inches (H x W x D). (H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.)

Barcode scanners, also known as barcode readers, can be used to scan and decode barcodes and to transmit barcode data to a computer or another host system. Barcode readers with a single-line laser can be used to scan linear, one-dimensional (1D) barcodes. Some lasers can produce light in an omnidirectional pattern to allow scanning of barcodes from different angles. Other barcode readers contain CCD (charge-coupled device) light sensors instead of a laser for accuracy and wear resistance. Barcode scanners with raster scanning, area imaging, and other scanning technologies can allow scanning of two-dimensional (2D) or Portable Document Format 417 (PDF417) barcodes, among other types. Some barcode readers provide onboard flash memory to allow the storage of barcode data before transmitting it to a computer or host system through a USB cable or wireless WLAN or Bluetooth connection. Many barcode readers have a handle for handheld use and come with a stand or a charging cradle for fixed position applications, while others are designed for stationary use on a counter or another flat surface. Some portable readers are small enough to be carried in a pocket or attached to a lanyard. Barcode readers are used at retail checkout counters and other points of sale (POS) locations and in warehouses and shipping facilities.
