Honeywell/Metrologic MS1690 Focus Barcode Scanners

Honeywell’s MS1690 Focus® provides users with increased throughput for virtually all 1D and 2D bar code reading applications—including poorly printed or damaged bar codes—by incorporating high resolution imaging and true contact reading into an affordable solution.

MS1690 Focus is a high performance hand-held area-imaging scanner. This omnidirectional scanner decodes all of today’s standard bar codes including 1D, GSI DataBarTM, PDF417, microPDF, EAN/UCC Composite, Matrix and Postal Codes regardless of orientation.

For years, Honeywell has been designing and manufacturing fixed position industrial imaging systems that are used by some of the world’s leading parcel handling companies, distribution centers, and postal services. That core technology combined with optical design expertise produced the Focus, a hand-held device built to endure today’s toughest work environments, packed with the most complete set of features, ease of use, and stylish, modern design.

Focus can be utilized in a variety of applications such as: retail, healthcare, shipping/receiving and supply chain management. Its laser like reading of 1D codes and omni-directional reading of 2D codes combined with a competitive price make it the obvious solution to a broad array of applications. With its arsenal of features, Focus is the all-in-one scanner.The MS1691 Focus is ideal for applications that require high-density scanning.

The MS1691 delivers quick and accurate scanning of 1D bar codes as small as 3.5 mil and 2D bar codes as small as 5 mil.

• TotalFreedom™: Expands scanner functionality by allowing image processing, decoding and formatting plug-ins to be loaded directly to the scanner instead of the host system
• Omnidirectional Scanning: Eliminates need to orientate scanner to bar code
• Mobile Phone Reading: Excels at scanning coupons and tickets directly from the screen of a mobile device
• CodeSelect™: Scans up to 7 bar codes in a single flash and outputs data in any predetermined order
• Flexible Licensing Solution: Meets diverse scanning requirements by offering models with limited decoding capabilities—purchase decoding licenses to enable additional functionality as the need arises
• Motion Tolerance: Offers aggressive scanning of bar codes passing by the window in presentation mode
