The Honeywell MK7580 Genesis (also referred to as the Genesis 7580g) is a high-performance, corded presentation area-imaging scanner that is known for being one of the first of its kind. It's designed for high-volume environments like retail and healthcare, where speed, accuracy, and versatility are essential.

Here is a summary of its key features and applications:

Revolutionary Scanning Technology:

• 2D Area Imaging: As a presentation scanner, the Genesis 7580g is engineered to decode all standard 1D, PDF, and 2D barcodes. Its advanced imaging technology can capture codes from any angle, whether they are printed on paper or displayed on a mobile phone, a key feature for modern retail.

   

• Adaptus™ Imaging Technology 6.0: This proprietary technology provides breakthrough performance and aggressive reading of barcodes, even those that are poorly printed, damaged, or on highly reflective surfaces.

   

• CodeGate™ Technology: This patented technology allows for targeted scanning. The scanner activates when it "sees" a barcode, and the user presses a button to transmit the data, which is useful for menu-scanning applications.

   

• CodeSelect™ Technology: This allows the scanner to capture up to 15 barcodes in a single flash and output the data in a predetermined order, significantly increasing efficiency.

   

Design and Durability:

• Elegant and Durable: The scanner has a stylish yet durable design, making it suitable for a variety of environments from retail to manufacturing. It is designed to withstand drops from 1.5 meters (5 ft).

   

• Shielded LEDs: It uses shielded LEDs to minimize the intense flashing that is common among other area imagers, reducing eye strain for both customers and employees.

   

• TotalFreedom™ Platform: This feature allows for the loading of decoding and formatting plug-ins directly onto the scanner, which expands its functionality without the need for host system modifications.

   

Connectivity and Integration:

• Multiple On-Board Interfaces: The scanner has four dedicated memory banks for storing full configuration settings for different interfaces, including USB, RS232, Keyboard Wedge, and IBM 46xx (RS485).

   

• Automatic Cable Detection: This simplifies the setup process by eliminating the need to scan programming barcodes.

   

• Remote Management: The Genesis 7580g can be managed by IT administrators from a single remote location, providing a convenient solution for network-wide management.

   

• EAS Integration: An optional model is available with an integrated antenna for Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) deactivation, which allows for simultaneous barcode decoding and tag deactivation.

   

The Honeywell MK7580 Genesis is a versatile and reliable tool that is well-suited for a variety of industries, including retail point-of-sale, healthcare, manufacturing, and commercial services.
