INPUT OPTIONS:

The LaserWedge 300 combines the capabilities of a compact, high performance, visible laser diode scanner able to read the toughest of bar codes with the flexibility and mobility of the Compsee keyboard wedge.

The LaserWedge 300 has been designed with the user in mind. With its field­proven advanced optics you will achieve an incredible first time read rate. With its lightweight, ergonomic design and superb balance, you will realize day­long handling comfort.

The unique cable design for the LaserWedge 300 allows for connection of a magnetic swipe reader for applications requiring keyboard entry of both bar code and magnetic stripe (credit card) data.

The LaserWedge 300 consists of 3 major components all built into an ergonomic hand held unit:

Scanner:          A visible laser diode based, hand 
                  held moving beam, non-contact scanner 
Decode:           On­board bar code decoding, including user
                  programmability to qualify and edit the data.
Keyboard Wedge:   The LaserWedge simply plugs in between
                  the keyboard and display sending data to 
                  the display as if it were keyed. 
                  The keyboard remains active at all times.
