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.
AML M2800 Features
- Bar code, magnetic card, and serial data
appear as keyboard input to the PC
- Automatically recognizes different bar code
types (auto-discriminates)
- Exceptional first read rates, even on faded or
poor quality bar codes by using advanced decoding algorithms
- Supports practically any 5 volt undecoded bar
code input device (laser, CCD, wand, slot reader)
- Reads single / dual track magnetic cards of
all standard track formats (credit cards, ID cards, etc)
- Easily connects to your PC computer through
USB interface
- Power / Ready light indicates scanner status
- Automatically sends data in the correct upper
/ lower case
- Easily programmed by scanning bar codes from
the reader setup menu
- Accepts data from the RS232 input port
(electronic scales, portable terminals, etc.)
