Small Barcode Scan Engine

The RT218 is outstanding at its super compact design, laser accurate aiming, and its excellent performance for decoding almost 1d&2d bar codes: QR codes, Aztec, Maxicode, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, Code128, Code 39, Codabar, UCC/EAN 128, RSS, ITF-14, ITF6,
Standard 2 of 5etc.

It is suitable for most applications: medical devices, lockers, shopping trolleys, vending machines, ATMs, Express cabinets, ticketing machines, portable terminals, tablets, etc.

RT218 Four Versions Available

Block

Compact and Lightweight Design

The miniature size, lightweight, and seamless integration of the imager and decoder board facilitate the integration of the barcode scan engine into a wide variety of equipment.

Read Poor Quality Bar Codes

Applied with the newest technology, this barcode scan engine can easily read poor-quality bar codes: damaged bar codes, low contrast bar codes, torn bar codes, warped or wrinkled bar codes.

Square & Cross aimer

With a square & cross aimer, users can accurately and easily point to the barcode and achieve quick reading. This makes a better user experience.

Excellent Bar Code Reading Performance

Great performance to read allmost all types of
1d /2d bar code such as QR code, Datamatrix code, Aztec, Maxicode, etc. whatever is read from paper or from a phone screen.

Integration

We provide 3D-Drawing, integration Guide which support your easy and quick integration work with your terminals.

Contact our sales people to get the full documents.

Integration Accessories

To facilitate our customer integration, we provide Screws, Flat cables, Connectors, USB/RS232 EVK (We also call it development kit board) and their schematic. But they are all optional, you can tell our sales people do you need them or not when you place order.

Control the barcode scan module by commands

For example, we can control the scanner's read/illumination... by sending commands to the scanner. We provide a detailed introduction to let you know how to do the command control. Ask our people to get full documents.

Setting Codes Programming

To program/ setup the scanner module, you can just simply do it by setting codes from the User manual we provide. Remember to read the "Enter setup" code when you begin to setup. Please ask our salespeople for the full detailed user manual.
