Intended use
The CLX is designed to detect and decode bar codes automatically. It is mounted in a read-
ing station and reads bar codes on objects positioned on a conveyor belt, for example. The
CLX transfers the data content of the decoded bar codes via its host interface to a host for
further processing.
As an option, the CLX can be used with other devices, e. g. CLV490, in an OMNI Portal Sy-
stem.
