Current and New UCC/EAN Symbologies with Ease
New ways of doing business require new types of bar
codes to keep products flowing smoothly from producer to
user. The Cyclone scanner was designed to handle new and
emerging UCC/EAN-driven symbologies:
The UCC/EAN Reduced Space Symbology (RSS)
is a "stacked" linear bar code for items previously too
small to be marked. Track previously untrackable data on
products so that lot numbers, expiration dates, weights,
prices and currency information are included in the bar
code.
-
Retail General Merchandise: Label items with
complete product identification for better
management of inventory and profitability.
-
Convenience Stores and Food Stores: Encode random
quantity and weight products, such as meat, produce
and cheeses with product identification information
for better inventory management and to simplify the
order and fulfillment process.
The UCC/EAN Composite Symbology (CS)
combines the standard linear UPC/EAN/JAN code, a
proven tool for POS checkout, receiving and inventory
tracking, with a two-dimensional (2-D) PDF417 portable
data file that incorporates extended product
information.
-
Healthcare: Hospitals, drug stores and pharmacies
can trace manufacturing lot numbers on
pharmaceuticals and other controlled substances.
Caregivers can streamline prescription processing
and verify patient ID by scanning patient
identification cards.
-
Logistics: Gain access to shipping as well as
content information at any point in the supply
chain.
-
Retail Food: Shopkeepers can record purchase data
and identification cards with a single scan of the
composite code. The identification and shipping data
is securely attached to the product – stored on a
bar code no bigger than a postage stamp.
Portable Data File (PDF)
is a 2-D data file that holds up to 1 kilobyte of data.
-
Age Verification: Many authorities now encode the
date of birth in the PDF symbol on a driver's
license, preventing the sale of alcohol or tobacco
products to underage customers.
-
National Identification Cards: Many countries use
national ID cards to open credit and telephone
accounts and for identification at border crossings.
-
Customer Loyalty Cards: Track customers' shopping
habits.
Choose
the Best Scan Pattern for Your Application
At the point of sale, the Cyclone scanner captures bar
code data instantly, shorting checkout lines with
"point-and-scan" performance on 1-D, 2-D, RSS and CS
symbologies.
Cyclone Omni-Directional Scan Pattern:
A rotating omni-directional scan pattern reads even
truncated bar codes by eliminating scan pattern "holes."
Raster Scan Pattern: The Cyclone's scan pattern
automatically covers 2-D and CS symbols for the best
scanning performance on damaged and poorly printed bar
codes, while eliminating the need for operator training.
Semi Omni Scan Pattern: The "Semi Omni" scan
pattern is a combination of the omni-directional and
raster scan patterns. This unique pattern has superb
decoding performance on extremely truncated bar codes
that you find on small items in convenience, drug and
specialty stores.
High Density Single Line Scan Pattern:
The Cyclone's single scan line appears as a "mini"
raster and scans multiple areas of 1-D codes to swiftly
and accurately capture data on poorly printed and
damaged bar codes. The single line is ideal for reading
bar coded menus and pick lists.
Bright LEDs indicate which scan pattern is working. For
intuitive aiming accuracy, even in the brightest
lighting conditions and for can't miss, single-pass
scanning, the laser diode emits a highly visible beam
for easy-to-see scan patterns. When you lift the scanner
off the counter, it automatically switches from
hands-free to handheld mode. The Cyclone immediately
adjusts the scan pattern for optimum handheld data
capture. Put the scanner back on the counter and it
automatically returns to hands-free mode. If countertop
space is at a premium, just place the Cyclone in the
optional wall-mount stand.
Premium
Features and Unique Ergonomics Adapt to Many Uses
The Cyclone's adjustable, built-in stand accommodates
scanning a wide range of item sizes for efficient
throughput. The ergonomically shaped handle fits snugly
in the hand to ensure a secure grip. The large,
contoured scan trigger is handle-mounted for easy
point-and-shoot operation. The patented two-finger
trigger operates with minimum effort and delivers
superior sensory feedback.
There's no need to change the scanner's orientation when
changing the scan pattern. All of the scan patterns exit
the Cyclone from the large, scratch-resistant and deeply
recessed window at the front of the scanner. The broad,
rounded stand supplies rock-solid support for checkstand
or countertop use. For maximum non-slip security, rubber
feet cushion the bottom of the scanner.
Ingenious Design Provides Superior Throughput
Symbol's attention to detail comes through in design
elements such as the twin beepers built into the sides
of the Cyclone scanner handle. The scanner beeper is
loud enough to be heard by operators working in noisy
environments.
Cyclone scanners offer a host of high-performance
features for unmatched adaptability at the point of
sale. The Cyclone provides direct connections to IBM,
USB, RS-232 and Symbol's Synapse "smart" cabling that
provides connectivity to all popular host terminals.
Synapse Smart Cables eliminate the need for separate
scanner-to-host controllers. Electronic Article
Surveillance deactivation is also an option; locating
the deactivation antenna within the scanner saves
precious space at the point of sale, and eliminates
secondary operations.
Advanced Data Formatting, another Symbol breakthrough,
enhances Cyclone data capture productivity. No need to
modify host-system software to match data input formats.
Instead, simply program the Cyclone. The scanner
translates the bar code string and, for later tracking,
stamps the bar code prefix with time, date and the
number of the employee who scanned the data.
Like every scanner from Symbol, the Cyclone is an
unbeatable value because it is backed by Symbol's global
network of service and support from the world leader in
bar code-driven data management systems, with millions
of scanners and terminals installed.
