2.3 Handscanner Readzones
Both transponders and barcodes are read in front of the Handscanner as
shown above. The barcode is read when the red laser line completely scans
over it (1D) or it is enclosed in the projected red outline (2D). RFID
transponders are read in the same plane as barcodes. The RFID read range
is far less than the barcode. Typically an RFID device will be read at less than
10cm (dependent on the size and type of the RFID device). A barcode may be
read between 5cm and 1m depending on the scanner type, barcode
symbology, size and condition.
The Handscanner functionality depends on the software running on the host
device. Generally pressing the button on the Handscanner triggers a barcode
and/or RFID read. The RFID read zone is in front of the window on the
Handscanner.
