The new Heron has been developed by Datalogic in order to satisfy all requirements at the POS, providing high performance and an innovative design suitable for small retail POS applications.
The new Heron, based on the "INSTINCTIVE READING DISTANCE" concept (from near contact to 23cm), includes the "green spot" (Datalogic patent application), Which provides "good reading" feedback
directly on the code, where the user usually Tends to be looking.
The stand included in the package allows the reader to be used in a hands-free mode. If placed correctly in the stand, the reader beeps and automatically switches to hands-free mode. In this mode,
the green spot remains on to show the operator where to position the code under the Heron for quicker and intuitive reading.
Heron also provides full connectivity: three models are available with different interface sets. Besides the standard D130 multi-interface model (RS232, USB, WEDGE & WAND), other models are also
available: the D110 model, which provides complete connectivity to main IBM cash registers and POS terminals, and the D140 model performs undecoded reader applications. In addition, Heron reads
Reduced Space Symbologies (RSS), an emerging symbology that can be printed on a smaller label, which meets emerging market needs for a greater amount of data on a symbol guaranteeing investment
protection.
