The Voyager
PDF
Voyager series to new levels of ability. With its introduction, Metrologic's
™
Voyager series has added the ability to decode PDF, a 2D symbology that
PDF
includes both normal and truncated version of this bar code type. This
symbology differs from normal 1D barcodes and can be viewed as a series of 1D
segments arranged vertically. Therefore PDF codes are scanned by sweeping
the high-speed laser scan line up or down over the code gathering information
from each line. This series integrates a high performance processor with
software designed to optimize PDF417 performance. Two base models are
available, the MS9544 and MS9524.
The MS9544 includes Metrologic's patented auto trigger and CodeGate
feature. Simply present a bar code to the scanner; the high-visibility
650-nanometer laser is automatically activated allowing the user to easily select
the bar code to be scanned. Press the CodeGate button and the data is
transmitted to the host system. Since scanning PDF codes requires multiple
scans, a separate programmable CodeGate feature has been added. With PDF
CodeGate disabled, PDF codes can be decoded and transmitted automatically,
without compromising the versatility achieved with CodeGate.
Equipped with both 'in-stand' and 'out-of-stand' operation, this series can be
used as both a hand-held and a fixed projection scanner. Voyager
automatically senses when it is placed in the stand and de-activates the
CodeGate button.
If the advantage of CodeGate technology is unnecessary in your application,
then the MS9524 is the Voyager
the same features as the MS9544, with the exception of CodeGate.

side is dependant on host's ability to handle large amounts of data.
