Configured with USB keyboard cable and standard counter mount, the Datalogic M231B-00501-06040R is a cabled, in-counter horizontal single-plane scanner in the Magellan 2300HS family, designed for medium to high-volume POS environments including drug stores, convenience stores, and grocery operations. It autodiscriminates all standard 1D codes including GS1 DataBar linear codes, and extends that capability to stacked symbologies: GS1 DataBar Stacked, GS1 DataBar Stacked Omnidirectional, and GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked. The host interface is serial, with the USB cable sold separately per this configuration. Flash memory supports field software upgrades, and an auxiliary RS-232 port accommodates handheld scanner add-ons, scanner programming, or label data output. At 2.43 lb, the unit meets RoHS environmental compliance requirements and carries a 3-year limited warranty.
