Symbol MiniScan MS954 Fixed Mount Barcode Scanner

As one of the smallest, lightest and brightest fixed-mount scanners available today, the Symbol MS954 is ideal for OEM device designs with space constraints, such as kiosks and ATMs, clinical diagnostic equipment, medical instruments, gaming devices and turnstiles/access control.

The device offers a configurable scan angle of 47° and 35°. The built-in RS-232 interface provides linear scanning on all types of 1D bar codes, including poorly printed and low-contrast symbols.
