Symbol WS-1200

Announcing a scanner that breaks the distance barrier in wearable scanning. Introducing the Symbol WS-1200-LR, Symbol's new long-range, wearable bar code scanner. Cabled to Symbol's wearable computer, the WS1200-LR is worn on the back of the hand and triggered by a low profile, thumb-activated switch that fits securely on an index finger.

Because the fingers are left free, it is exceptionally well suited for package-handling-intensive activities such as order picking,stock pulling, and put-away. This outstanding scanning capability makes it ideal in industrial applications where bar codes have to be scanned from distances longer than an arm's length.

The WS-1200 is ruggedly built to withstand demanding industrial environments such as those found in warehouses,transportation and logistics operations, distribution centers, and manufacturing sites. The housing is rigid and durable, and well protected from abrasion by a removable/replaceable plastic cap. A jacket made of a flexible,energy-absorbent elastomer material prevents damage to the scan engine if it is dropped, or repeatedly knocked against shelving. Moreover, the WS1200 is very effectively sealed against internal contamination from dust and moisture.

And the WS-1200LR scanner is easy to use. Just aim it at a bar code and press the switch. An innovative "aim spot" is used to guide the scan beam, making long-range scanning quick and accurate. The scan engine is Symbol's field-proven SE 1200-LR, which delivers exceptional long-range scanning performance in an impressively small package. For example, it can read a 55 mil bar code from as far away as 8 ft./2.4 m and a 1 -mil bar code from as close as 7 in./17.8 cm.
