AML M2800 Bar Code Scanning System for Laser, CCD, Wands, Magnetic Strip Reader or Slot Readers  AML M2800 USB Decoders

AML M2800 Bar Code Scanning System for Laser, CCD, Wands, Magnetic Strip Readers or Slot Readers.
Exceptional first read rates even on faded or poor quality bar codes.

  • Exceptional first read rates, even on faded or poor quality bar codes
  • Connect up to 4 different input devices at once
  • Accepts Laser, CCD, Wand, Magnetic Stripe Reader, Slot Reader, or RS-232 devices
  • Easily connects to your PC through USB interface

The AML M2800 Laser/CCD/Wand/Magnetic Stripe/Slot Reader is a powerful USB interface unit capable of reading most poorly printed bar codes, even ones not typically readable by other systems. The AML M2800 bar code decoder is capable of reading EAN, UPC, and all RSS symbologies and is compliant with Global Tracking Identification Number (GTIN) requirements. The magnetic card reader performance exceeds that of the typical reader, supporting bi-directional swipes, and is tolerant of either very rapid or extremely slow swipes.

The AML M2800 bar code and magnetic stripe reader accepts up to four different input devices such as laser, CCD, wand, magnetic stripe reader, slot reader, and RS-232 serial input. The RS-232 interface is mainly used as an input, but resembles a serial port found on a standard PC. The RS232 port is meant to connect serial input devices using a null-modem cable. The AML M2800 functions well as an RS-232 serial to keyboard converter.

Custom bar code decoding algorithms are used, imbuing the AML M2800 with the ability to read the most poorly printed barcodes, even ones not typically readable by other systems. The AML M2800 is capable of reading EAN, UPC, and all RSS symbologies and so is compliant with Global Tracking Identification Number (GTIN) requirements. The magnetic card reader performance exceeds that of the typical reader, supporting bi-directional swipes, and is tolerant of either very rapid or extremely slow swipes.

The AML M2800 system is pre-configured to meet the needs of most users, but you may customize the AML M2800 bar code reader to your individual application by changing the default settings using the AML M2800 setup menu bar code sheet. Robust construction, ease of use, and the quality of features make the AML M2800 barcode reader an ideal data collection device for retail, industrial, or any data tracking application.
