Fixed Mount Barcode Readers
Here the full list of RTscan's fixed-mount barcode readers & embedded barcode scanners. All of them are 2d readers, read QR code, DM, PDF417, etc.
- RT235 is currently (2021) a popular fixed mount barcode scanner for general use since it's a comparatively smaller size, lower power consumer, and good performance for most types of 1D and 2D bar codes.
- IDE237 used for reading PDF417 code and OCR-B / Machine readable zoon data in ID card/driver's license/ passport; or can be used as a high-resolution barcode reader since its high-resolution imager sensor: 1280*800.
- RT234 is an IP54 industrial 2d fixed mount scanner, can be used for dust/water-sensitive applications. And at the same time, the RT234 also a high-performance scanner as its sensor is 960*640.
- RT230H/ RT236 are for general purpose use, read 2d QR code, DM, PDF417, etc. But RT230H only keep for old projects, for new customers we do not sell it anymore.
In general, fixed-mount types like RT235, IDE237, RT234, RT230H can read in farther distances because they provide more concentrated and strong illumination, and an embedded type like RT820, RT870, RT830B used for near-area bar code scanning. For example, we usually choose a near-area scanner like the RT870 or RT830C type for the turnstile, but for the parcel locker station, we choose a far-area scanner like the RT235 type.
