Ergonomically designed HS-1 decodes linear barcodes in applications such as printed black and white labels and is built to withstand multiple drops in harsh environments. For high-contrast automated data applications from clean rooms to industrial environments, HS-2D can decode linear barcodes as well as 2D symbols with help from its dual LED targeting system. Both models allow barcode output to be plugged directly into MS Office programs such as Word/Excel.
