Zebra MiniScan MS954 Fixed Mount Bar Code Scanner
Space Constraints? No Problem.
As one of the smallest, lightest and brightest fixed-mount scanners available today, the 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.The MS954 fixed mount scanner is also available as a scan engine (SE95X), which allows for a smaller size and lower product costs.
