The new DataMan 503 logistics barcode readers are configured for a five-sided scan tunnel. DataMan barcode readers deliver the highest read rates, provide performance feedback, and have a solid state design with no moving parts that can become worn and require repair or replacement. With patent-pending Xpand technology, now logistics, postal and parcel companies can install high performance image-based barcode reading technology at a similar, or less cost, than current laser scanner or line scan system costs.
