Fluke 700BCW Bar Code Wand, 160mm x 23mm Size

This Fluke 700BCW barcode wand has an 8.2' (2.5 m) serial cable and can be used to scan and decode linear one-dimensional (1D) barcodes. The wand is made of polycarbonate and has a sapphire tip to resist scratches and wear. An LED indicator lights up to indicate a successful swipe. The serial cable connects the barcode wand to a computer or host system (not included) to transmit barcode data. The barcode wand is pen-shaped for comfort, weighs 5.7 oz., and measures 6-5/16" (160 mm) long and 7/8" (23 mm) in diameter. It is suitable for scanning Codabar, Code 11, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, EAN-8, EAN-13, Interleaved 2 of 5, MSI, UPC-A, and UPC-E barcode symbologies.

Barcode scanners, also known as barcode readers, can be used to scan and decode barcodes and to transmit barcode data to a computer or another host system. Barcode readers with a single-line laser can be used to scan linear, one-dimensional (1D) barcodes. Some lasers can produce light in an omnidirectional pattern to allow scanning of barcodes from different angles. Other barcode readers contain CCD (charge-coupled device) light sensors instead of a laser for accuracy and wear resistance. Barcode scanners with raster scanning, area imaging, and other scanning technologies can allow scanning of two-dimensional (2D) or Portable Document Format 417 (PDF417) barcodes, among other types. Some barcode readers provide onboard flash memory to allow the storage of barcode data before transmitting it to a computer or host system through a USB cable or wireless WLAN or Bluetooth connection. Many barcode readers have a handle for handheld use and come with a stand or a charging cradle for fixed position applications, while others are designed for stationary use on a counter or another flat surface. Some portable readers are small enough to be carried in a pocket or attached to a lanyard. Barcode readers are used at retail checkout counters and other points of sale (POS) locations and in warehouses and shipping facilities.
