The Cobalto™ scanner (reader) delivers high performance in a
small, fixed reader that can also be used as a targeted handheld
scanner. Its innovative design maximizes productivity and minimizes operator stress, strain and fatigue.
Operational Modes
The scanner can easily adapt to either fixed/portable or targeted
handheld scanning applications. The front scan window, with its
multi-line scan pattern, is used for most retail items. By touching
the top button, the reader emits a single targeted scan pattern for
handheld scanning of hard to read or bulky items, or to read an
individual bar code among many bar codes.
Fixed Mode
To use the scanner in Fixed Mode, seat it securely on the table. The
reader can scan bar codes either in a Sweep or Presentation Mode
to accommodate different user styles. To better adjust for your
scanning needs, the scanner head can be tilted up or down.
