The Re-Invention Of 2D Imaging Technology
By Motorola
Until today, businesses were required to choose between a high performance laser engine for 1D bar code scanning or a 2D imager that offered both 1D and 2D scanning functionality — but reduced performance. The camera-based 2D imagers were not capable of capturing bar codes as rapidly or as accurately as laser technology, forcing enterprises to accept degradation in user productivity in order to implement the more information-rich 2D bar code symbologies throughout operations. As a result, businesses are often slow to embrace 2D symbologies — despite the many benefits that its increased data capacity and/or smaller symbol size can offer.
