High-performance, compact fixed mount scanner for applications with space constraints
The MS954 is a compact, durable, fixed-mount scanner that provides high performance linear scanning on all types of 1D bar codes, including poorly printed and low contrast symbols. The MS954 offers a configurable scan angle of 47° and 35° for OEM devices requiring a flexible, expanded working range. As one of the smallest, lightest and brightest fixed-mount scanners available today, the MS954 is ideal for accurate automated data collection in OEM device designs with space constraints, such as kiosks and ATMs, clinical diagnostic equipment, medical instruments, gaming devices and turnstiles/access control.
