- Using bar codes to enter data has proven to be vastly more accurate than
- human key-entry and Percon, Inc., has made it easier with the introduction
- of its PERCON Series 20 Laser. The Series 20 Laser is a hand-held bar code
- laser with the PERCON Series 20 bar code reader built into its handle.
-
- Lightweight and compact, the Series 20 Laser withstands repeated five-foot
- drops to concrete. Non-contact scanning enables the user to easily read
- bar codes on flat, curved and irregular surfaces with an exceptionally
- accurate "first-try read rate" up to distances of two feet. The Series 20
- Laser operates in normal office retail and industrial environments.
-
- "A single cable connects the Series 20 Laser as a 'wedge' between the
- computer and keyboard," says Mike Coughlin, PERCON president. "IBM PC, XT,
- AT, PS/2 computers and compatibles are just a few of the interfaces
- currently offered. If a specific interface is requested, we will work with
- that customer to meet their exact requirements."
-
- The Series 20 Laser's precision optics and electronics maintain accuracy
- while scanning at a rate of 40 scans per second without exact aiming. It
- is also immune to direct exposure to normal office light, factory lighting
- or sunlight.
-
- As with the entire line of PERCON Series 20 decoders, the Series 20 Laser
- provides these benefits:
-
- Data input editing enables users to customize scanned data before it
- reaches their application program. This automatic data editing is
- completely programmable, and permits adding data, moving data, or
- subtracting data from each bar code or magnetic stripe as it's scanned.
-
- Auto-Host Recognition allows the Series 20 Laser to recognize and configure
- itself for the computer to which it's connected.
-
- Full keyboard support permits users to encode any key on a
- keyboard--including all function keys. The unit also allows
- auto-terminators to be any of 128 ASCII characters, and the unique "Zap
- Mode" disables the user-defined auto-terminator by encoding PERCON-defined
- characters into that bar code.
-
- Additionally the Series 20 Lasa will auto-discriminate among 13 different
- bar code symbologies.
-
- The Series 20 Laser's suggested retail price begins at $1,395.00(US,
- quantity one) and is scheduled for shipment beginning March 20, 1992. The
- Series 20 Laser is backed by a one-year warranty with an optional extended
- warranty available.
-
- Founded in 1983, Percon engineers and manufacturers keyless data entry and
- identification equipment. Based in Eugene, Oregon, the company sells bar
- code hardware and software worldwide through original equipment
- manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and value added resellers (VARs) and
- offers next-day shipping, free telephone support and 24-hour turnaround
- repair service.
-
- In addition to the five Series 20 decoders, PERCON's bar code and magnetic
- stripe readers include Series 10 bar code and magnetic stripe decoders for
- a wide range of computer and terminal systems. The PERCON PocketReader
- portable bar code reader, features PERCON Program Generator (PPG) software
- operating under Microsoft Windows for exceptional ease of programming.
- PERCON also offers WRITEBAR, bar code printing software for dot matrix and
- laser printers.
