CHAPTER 1 Getting Started

The HE40T is a revolutionary new low cost bar code reader that
employs Microscan’s industry leading Direct Part Mark (DPM)
reading technology. Developed to be the first universal reader, no
other single device performs as many functions. With a cost of
ownership far less than comparable systems, the HE40T
incorporates a unique dual path optical system, a 1.3 million pixel
CMOS sensor, and a 400 MHz processor. This combination has
created a reading system that supports:

• DPM applications

• Department of Defense Unique Iden tification (DoD UID)

• High density matrix codes and larger low density linear
barcodes

• Superior working range

• High-speed omni-directional decoding

• Cordless and cabled interfaces

• Unsurpassed data rat es

The HE40T features a variety of accessories including ruggedized
handles. For more information or for technical support, see the
Preface of the HE40T User Manual.
