Contact barcode reading in a stainless-steel pen

The Unitech MS120 is a lightweight wand scanner for low-volume barcode entry. Its optics read linear labels as the operator sweeps the tip across the code, including colored, faded and low-contrast labels within the specified contrast limits.

The current MS120-NTCB00-SG supplies an undecoded TTL signal through a DB-9 female squeeze-release cable. It requires a compatible decoder or host connection; the connector is not a standard decoded RS232 interface.

The polished sapphire tip reduces wear on barcode labels and can be replaced when damaged. Pen-style handling helps guide the reader across the intended barcode.
