Metapace S-52 - viivakoodiskanneri - käsikäyttöinen - 2D-kuvain

The Metapace S-52C is a high-performance handheld barcode scanner equipped with a 2D CMOS imager that reads both 1D and 2D barcodes from paper and screens. Its 640 x 480 VGA sensor with white LED illumination delivers fast, accurate decoding even on damaged or poorly printed codes. With a USB interface supporting HID Keyboard and Virtual COM modes, it plugs directly into any computer or POS system without extra drivers. The rugged design withstands drops from 1.5 m and is rated IP42 against dust and moisture, making it ideal for retail, warehouse, and logistics environments.

Advantages

The S-52C combines versatility and durability. It decodes all common 1D symbologies (EAN/UPC, Code 39, Code 128, Interleaved 2 of 5, Codabar, GS1 DataBar) and 2D codes (QR, Data Matrix, PDF417, Aztec, MaxiCode). Its 40° horizontal and 30° vertical scan angles provide a wide field of view for quick scanning. The scanner is powered entirely via USB, eliminating the need for an external power supply. Audible and visual indicators (beeper and LED) confirm successful reads, improving operator efficiency.
