The Unitech MS120 series bar code wand is targeted toward low reading volume and cost effective solutions. The advanced optics and electronic design convert bar code labels into a high quality digital signal. Able to read color, faded and low contrast bar codes quickly and accurately, the MS120 is a proven solution.

The polished sapphire tip reduces wear on labels and is also easily replaced if damaged. Its shape gives the MS120 the comfort and handling of a normal ink pen. Just sweep the tip of the wand across the bar code in either direction and listen for the "good read" beep that lets you know the data has been successfully captured.

CCD (Charge Coupled Device) Barcode Scanner use an imaging CCD (similar to the ones found in digital cameras) to take a picture of barcodes, that are then decoded into a sequence of characters. CCD Barcode Scanner have a very fast scan speed, but a low scan range (often less than 3 inches from the barcode). A CCD Barcode Scanner can be very durable because they do not contain any moving parts, but are limited because they cannot read any barcodes wider than the imaging element. Their low cost and speed make CCD Barcode Scanner well suited for point of sale applications, but their short read range makes them a poor choice for warehouse or industrial applications.
