2d barcode scanners read a variety of hi-capacity symbologies (see what are 2d barcodes?), including such codes as PDF417, Datamatrix and Aztec.
2d barcode scanner technologies include Imaging and Rasterizing Laser. Applications include personal indentifcation, document tracking, part making and a host of portable data file uses.
An added bonus is the ability to capture images including signatures.
SELECTION OF THE PROPER SCANNER IS VERY APPLICATION DEPENDENT. CALL US TO ADVISE THE CODE AND DENSITIES YOU ARE READING.

What are 2d barcodes?
2D Barcodes are symbologies that are capable of storing
more information than can normally be contained in a
conventional linear barcode. These include:
|
|
DATAMATRIX – a square symbology, of varying
densities used extensively in part marking as a large
number of characters can fit in a small space: |
|
|
PDF417 – can be printed at a variety of aspect
ratios and densities. Used in transportation, manifests,
and personal ID including state driver’s
licenses. |
Others include AZTEC, MAXICODE, and QR Code. 2D Barcodes
can serve as portable data files, enabling the user to access
information such as lot processing, shipment manifest, and
serial number/sku data remote from the network database.
Codes such as PDF can be read by linear scanners that can
rasterize in both axis. Datamatrix is a matrix code and
requires an imager reader, which algorithmically processes the
image. Imager scanners are effectively digital cameras with
integrated processors and therefore can also capture images
such as signatures. As with linear barcode scanners, they can
interface as keyboard wedges or via a serial
port. |
