Honeywell Genesis MS7580 Bar Code Reader

Presentation / Hands-free scanning — fixed “always-on” scanner that reads barcodes placed in front of it (no need to pick up a gun scanner)

Area-imaging engine — captures a 2D image (an imager) rather than using a laser — can decode 1D, 2D, PDF, postal, and OCR symbologies (depending on license)

Omnidirectional scanning — barcodes can be read from almost any orientation — no need to align exactly

High motion tolerance — it can read barcodes even if they move relatively fast (good for fast-paced checkouts)

Automatic interface detection — supports multiple interfaces (USB, RS-232 / serial, keyboard wedge, IBM 46xx RS-485) and can auto-detect which is attached

Multiple configuration banks — four memory banks allow storing configuration for each interface type (so switching between interfaces doesn’t require reprogramming)

CodeGate® technology — allows a “trigger / target” function: you can aim and then press to confirm which barcode to accept when multiple are present

CodeSelect™ — can capture multiple barcodes in one scan (e.g. up to 7 or more) and output them in a predefined order

TotalFreedom® platform — supports plug-ins loaded into the scanner itself for customizing decoding, data formatting, filtering, etc., without altering host software

Mobile device / screen barcode reading — optimized to read barcodes displayed on smartphones, tablets, etc., including reflective / glossy screens

Image capture capabilities — can capture and output images (e.g. coupons, checks, signatures) in standard image formats
