Configured without a USB cable and supplied with a desktop IEC brick and US cord, the Datalogic M230B-00181-06000R is an in-counter, horizontal single-plane barcode scanner built for medium to high volume POS environments. 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. An auxiliary RS-232 port supports handheld scanner attachment, scanner configuration, and label data output, and the unit can be paired with Checkpoint EAS or used alongside Sensormatic EAS systems via that port. Flash memory enables field software upgrades. Cable connectivity and a standard counter mount complete the installation profile. The scanner weighs 2.43 lb and carries RoHS environmental compliance, backed by a 3-year limited warranty.
