Reading, UK, May 29, 2008 - Access IS, the data input technology company, has introduced a fixed-position, high-speed imager that captures bar codes from mobile phones or PDAs in less than one second. Designed for use at self-service kiosks or turnstiles, or for flatbed installation in desk or podium applications, the LSR108 is a rugged, omni-directional imager with no moving parts that is designed to give years of trouble-free operation. It can be configured with data format settings and interfaced to the host system through either RS232 or USB using a single, detachable cable.
