Compact Area-Imaging Scanner

Honeywell’s MS4980 compact area-imaging scanner offers aggressive

scanning of all 1D, PDF and 2D bar codes in a lightweight, durable and

portable form factor. The scanner also features a sleek and elegant

design that blends seamlessly in retail environments.

Automatic infrared o bject det ec tion enables robust and easy

presentation scanning, while patented CodeGate® technology provides

precise targeting and scanning of closely grouped bar codes.

The MS4980 delivers an array of advanced features that enhance

productivity. Aggressive reading of bar codes on highly reﬂective

surfaces, such as mobile phone screens, eliminates the need to

purchase additional specialty hardware. A 1.2 mega-pixel CMOS

sensor allows the scanner to capture high resolution images of

signatures, identiﬁcation cards and personal checks.

An intelligent multi-interface design distinguishes the MS4980 from

competitive scanners. The scanner has three dedicated memory

banks—each one capable of storing full conﬁgurations for RS232,

keyboard wedge and USB interfaces. Automatic cable detection and

conﬁguration simpliﬁes scanner management by eliminating the need

for manual conﬁguration after the change of an interface cable.

TotalFreedom™ expands scanner functionality by allowing image

processing, decoding and formatting plug-ins to be loaded directly to

the MS4980 instead of the host system.

The MS4980 is small enough to be held in the palm or worn on the

back of the hand. Its compact size also allows it be mounted anywhere,

including in self-service scanning kiosks.

Features

Aggressive Pass-Through Scanning: • Enhances

productivity by enabling cashiers to capture bar codes moving rapidly past the scan window

Flexible Licensing Solution: • Meets diverse scanning

requirements by offering models with limited decoding capabilities—purchase decoding licenses to enable additional functionality as the need arises

Infrared Object Detection: • Minimizes operator fatigue by

providing hands-free presentation scanning

Intelligent Multi-Interface Design: • Provides automatic

cable detection and conﬁguration, reducing overall system costs

CodeSelect™: • Scans up to 7 bar codes in a single ﬂash

and outputs data in any predetermined order

TotalFreedom: • Expands scanner functionality by

allowing image processing, decoding and formatting plug-ins to be loaded directly to the scanner instead of the host system

Wide Field of View: • Excels at scanning wide bar codes

and OCR fonts close to the face

Mobile Phone Reading: • Scans bar codes directly from

the screen of a mobile device
