The Manhattan Long Range CCD Handheld Barcode Scanner is a robust and efficient solution designed for high-performance 1D data capture. Engineered with a durable combination of ABS plastic and rubber, this scanner is built to withstand the rigors of daily use in retail, inventory management, and office environments. It features a sophisticated CCD sensor that eliminates moving parts, ensuring long-term reliability and consistent performance. With a generous scan depth of up to 500mm and a rapid scan rate of 500 scans per second, it provides quick and accurate data entry for a wide variety of common 1D barcodes.

Advantages

This scanner significantly enhances operational productivity by automating manual data entry tasks and reducing human error. Its plug-and-play USB connectivity allows for seamless integration with most computer systems without the need for complex software installations or specialized training. The device functions as a keyboard wedge, meaning scanned data is instantly transmitted to your active application as if it were typed manually. Furthermore, its ability to operate in ambient light conditions up to 10,000 lux makes it versatile enough for various indoor settings, while the ergonomic design ensures comfort during extended periods of use.

Suitable for

• Retail point-of-sale transactions
• Inventory tracking and warehouse management
• Automating paper-based office processes
• Library and document management systems
• General data collection and asset tracking

When it may not be suitable

This device is specifically designed for 1D barcodes and cannot read 2D barcodes such as QR codes or Data Matrix. It may not be the optimal choice for high-intensity industrial environments that require ruggedized, drop-proof equipment or for applications requiring wireless mobility, as it is a corded device.

Key specifications

• Scanner type: 1D CCD
• Scan depth: Up to 500 mm
• Scan rate: 500 scans per second
• Connectivity: Wired USB
• Cable length: 1.5 m
• Housing material: ABS and rubber
• Input voltage: 5 V
• Weight: 440 g

How to use

To begin using the scanner, simply connect the integrated USB cable to an available USB port on your computer. The device is automatically recognized by most operating systems as a standard input device, requiring no additional drivers. Once connected, point the scanner at the barcode you wish to capture and press the trigger. The scanner will emit a signal upon a successful read, and the data will be instantly populated into your active software application, such as a spreadsheet, database, or point-of-sale system.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your software supports keyboard input for data capture.
• Verify that your barcodes are 1D symbologies, as 2D codes are not supported.
• Consider the cable length of 1.5 meters to ensure it reaches your workstation comfortably.
• Check if your environment requires a wireless scanner or if a wired connection is sufficient.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the scanner lens clean and free of dust or smudges. Ensure the scanner is held at an appropriate angle to the barcode to maintain the 500mm scan depth. Avoid exposing the device to extreme moisture or direct high-intensity sunlight beyond the specified 10,000 lux limit.
