Metrologic's MS5145 is a single-line, hand-held laser scanner. Equipped with Metrologic's patented CodeGate technology, Eclipse can be used in a wide variety of applications. CodeGate technology allows the user to easily target the desired bar code and complete the data transmission with a simple press of a button. This combination makes Eclipse a perfect selection for menu scanning, point-of-sale, document processing and inventory control. With Metrologic's state-of-the-art scanning technology embedded inside, the MS5145 Eclipse has a longer working range and a wider scan field than a typical CCD. The width of the scan line grows as the scanner moves further away from bar codes. In addition, the laser beam pulses which make lining up bar codes easy, and when the scanner senses a bar code (CodeSenseTM Mode), the laser beam automatically switches to scan mode and activates CodeGate to ensure high-speed scanning and accuracy. Many of the standard features include: PowerLink user-replaceable cables, Bits 'n' Pieces® data editing, user friendly programming using MetroSelect® bar codes, or MetroSet® 2 Windows-based configuration utility.
