By

Metrologic MS7820

Metrologic Instruments released a newvertical mini-slot scanner, the MS2400 Solaris. The Solaris is very suitable for scanning high-density codes (five mil) or poor quality barcodes. The device
fits easily into any existing enclosure found in small-item,
high-volume retail environments.  It is designed for a variety of
retail environments, including convenience, liquor (off-license),
specialty and grocery stores.

Multiple on-board interfaces make Solaris compatible with most POS
systems, while automatic detection of the interface cable expedites
system configuration. For investment protection, all Solaris scanners
come standard with an integrated RF antenna and interlock compatibility
for both Checkpoint and Sensormatic EAS systems.  The scanner’s
multifunctional RS232 auxiliary port provides a single point of
communication for either a hand-held scanner or external scale.
