Compact 2D Bar Code Imager
Reading, UK, March 1, 2007 - Access announces the LSR120 – a compact barcode imager optimised to read new 2D bar coded boarding passes (BCBPs) and internet self-printed check-in documents downloaded from the Internet.
The LSR120 is designed for use at both check-in desks and boarding gates. It reads barcodes in less than one second to speed up passenger throughput and can be configured to connect via a single cable to an Access ATB42X integrated keyboard – thereby eliminating the need for an extra port and reducing installation complexity and cables. Alternatively, the LSR120 can connect to a workstation via RS232, PS/2 keyboard or USB interface.
The LSR120 reads IATA recommended PDF417 2D and linear symbologies on presentation of the document, with virtually no latency. A large document throat allows home printed A4 or US letter size documents to be readily scanned. In addition, 2D Aztec, DataMatrix and QR bar codes can be read from cell phone displays. PDF417 2D stacked and 2D symbology codes contain more information than can be accommodated in simple linear barcodes. 2D formats also have error correction options that enable the code to be read even if part of it has been marked or destroyed. The LSR120 incorporates an omni-directional imager with fixed focal distance. Successful data capture is confirmed through a bright green indicator and sounder. Overall dimensions are 7.1 (D) x 3.9 (H) x 3.9 (W) inches (180 x 100 x 100 mm).
The LSR120 is ruggedly constructed with no moving parts, leading to an MTBF of 85,000 hours and an expected operational life of some 10 years. It is designed for operation in ambient temperatures of 0 to 50 degrees C and has all major international agency approvals with respect to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and safety.
