Here is a summary of its key features and specifications:

Key Features

• Scanning Capability: It is a 2D area imager that can read both 1D and 2D barcodes, as well as other types like PDF417 and even OCR (Optical Character Recognition). It can also read barcodes from mobile screens, which is useful for mobile coupons and loyalty programs.

• Performance: It features an 800 MHz microprocessor and a high-resolution megapixel sensor with Zebra's PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology, allowing it to quickly capture challenging barcodes, including those that are poorly printed, damaged, or low contrast.
