The Omni reader is originally designed for the demanding Access Control and Time and Attendance markets. Its die cast metal base, stainless steel wear plate, and impact-resistant housing make Omni ideal for the growing market of self-service and un-attended applications. Omni reads visible bar code data in most bar code symbologies in a single swipe. It has a beeper and three-color LED indicator to signal a successful read. The reader is programmable so that the data format and intelligent interface output can be programmed and configured to match application communication requirements.
