UniTech MS146
Barcode badge reading for attendance and access applications
The Unitech MS146 reads barcodes on cards, badges and forms as they pass through its wide slot. Its sealed optical system and IP54 housing suit desktop stations and industrial environments where a fixed reader is useful.
Choose visible-light or infrared optics and a USB or RS232 connection to match your application. Infrared models can read suitable infrared-readable barcodes beneath an opaque overlay.
