Omni-directional
Operating
To read a symbol or capture an image, you
simply aim the reader and pull the trigger.
Since the PowerScan™ PD953X is a powerful
omni-directional reader, the orientation of the
symbol is not important.
Decoding
Thanks to powerful algorithms, PowerScan™
PD953X 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 imme-
diately available to read another symbol.
Formatting and
Concatenating
The string of a decoded code may be pro-
cessed according to either a simple or
advanced data formatting and be concate-
nated.
