Configured with a serial host interface and RS-232 connectivity, the Datalogic M230A-00111-01040R is an in-counter, single-plane barcode scanner built for medium to high-volume retail POS deployments. It reads 1D codes via cable, autodiscriminating all standard 1D symbologies including GS1 DataBar Linear codes, plus stacked variants — GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked, GS1 DataBar Stacked and GS1 DataBar Stacked Omnidirectional. FirstStrike software decoding algorithms improve first-pass read rates on damaged, wrinkled or poorly printed barcodes. Flash memory supports field software upgrades, and an auxiliary RS-232 port accommodates handheld scanner add-ons, programming or label data output. The unit weighs 2.43 lb and ships in a standard counter-mount configuration with a US/CA/MEX power supply; USB cable is sold separately. RoHS compliance and a 3-year limited warranty round out this configuration.
