The Heron™ has been developed by Datalogic in order to satisfy all requirements at the POS, providing high performance and innovative design suitable for small retail POS applications. It is ergonomically suited to any retail or office environment whilst being robust in its operation and offers a 5 year manufacturer’s warranty.
The Heron™ based on the 'Instinctive Reading Distance' concept (from near
contact to over 20 cm), includes the 'green spot' (Datalogic patent application),
which provides 'good reading' feedback directly on the code, where the user usually
tends to be looking.
The stand included in the package allows the reader to be used in hands-free mode.
If placed correctly in the stand, the reader beeps and automatically switches to
hands-free mode.
The green spot remains on to show the operator where to position the code under the Heron™ for quick and intuitive reading, as a result, Heron™ is effective as a hand-held reader and presentation scanner.
The Heron™ also provides full connectivity with three models are available all with different interface sets:
The Heron™ D150 EAS is the latest addition, providing an integrated EAS antenna and special EAS cables, for ease of connection and compatibility with Nedap and Checkpoint EAS systems, guaranteeing EAS tag deactivation and barcode reading in one smooth motion.
In addition the Heron™ reads Reduced Space Symbologies (RSS), an emerging symbology that can be printed on a smaller label, which meets emerging market needs for a greater amount of data on a symbol guaranteeing investment protection.
