DENSO Introduces New AT31Q 1-D and 2-D Barcode Scanner

DENSO ADC, the Americas sales arm of DENSO Wave Incorporated, inventor of the QR Code, announced a new AT31Q handheld 1-D and 2-D barcode scanner featuring both close-range as well as distance scanning. When used at close range, the operator-friendly device allows users to simultaneously scan and view codes, speeding up work and increasing accuracy.

The lightweight yet ruggedly built AT31Q weighs only 4.4 ounces, reducing operator fatigue. Both a buzzer and alert light confirm successful scans.

The AT31Q can read codes displayed on mobile devices, such as mobile coupons and mobile membership cards. The high-performance scan engine of the device reads even dirty, damaged and poorly printed codes.

The AT31Q is designed so the user can quickly pick it up from its rest position, and features an ergonomically shaped grip and trigger that reduce strain during long work sessions. The trigger has a detent that clicks to let the user know by feel when it has been pulled.

Three user-selectable modes allow single-scan reading of concatenated QR Codes or barcodes with up to three rows, as well as reading of an individually targeted code even when multiple codes are in the reading area.
