1.1 DESCRIPTION
The LYNX™ Hand-Held Reader packs a lot of performance into an attractive, rugged,
hand-held device. It operates in commercial and industrial environments as well as
the front office.
Omnidirectional
Operating
To read a symbol or capture an image, you simply aim the
reader and pull the trigger. Since the orientation of the symbol
is not important, the LYNX™ reader is a powerful,
omnidirectional device.
Decoding
And
Imaging
Thanks to powerful algorithms, Lynx™ reliably decodes all major
1D (linear) barcodes, 2D stacked codes (such as PDF417), 2D
matrix symbols (such as DataMatrix), postal codes (such as
POSTNET, PLANET). The data stream — acquired from
decoding a symbol — is rapidly sent to the host. The reader is
immediately available to read another symbol.
Lynx™ can also function as a camera by capturing images of
labels, signatures, and other items. (see par. 1.4.3 for further
details).
FLASH MEMORY
Flash technology allows to upgrade the LYNX™ reader as new
symbologies are supported or as improved decoding
algorithms become available.
