What interfaces does the Opticon C37 support for connecting to a POS or inventory system?
The Opticon C37 offers three wired interfaces: RS232 via a DB9 connector, USB in both HID and VCP modes via USB-A, and Keyboard Wedge via a miniDIN6 connector, covering most POS, legacy, and modern PC-based systems without additional adapters.
Which 1D barcode symbologies can the Opticon C37 read?
The C37 reads JAN/UPC/EAN including add-on codes, Code 39, Code 128, GS1-128, GS1 DataBar (RSS), and other common 1D symbologies, making it suitable for retail, warehousing, and office applications.
How fast does the Opticon C37 scan, and what sensor technology does it use?
The C37 scans at up to 200 scans per second using a CCD linear sensor with a resolution of 2,500 pixels and a minimum bar resolution of 0.125 mm at PCS 0.9.
What is the depth of field for the Opticon C37 when reading Code 39 barcodes?
At PCS 0.9 with Code 39, the C37 has a depth of field of 0 to 15 mm, so labels should be presented close to the scanner window for reliable reads.
How durable is the Opticon C37 for everyday retail or light-industrial use?
The C37 features an ABS housing with IP42 ingress protection, withstands drops from up to 1.5 m, and operates in temperatures from 0 to 50 °C, making it well-suited to high-throughput daily workflows in retail and similar environments.
How much does the Opticon C37 weigh, and what power supply does it require?
The scanner body weighs 90 g excluding the cable, and it draws power directly from the host connection: 5 V ±10% when used via USB or Keyboard Wedge, or 4.5 to 6.6 V when connected via RS232, so no separate power supply or battery is required.
