Best-of-Class Performance

Available in decoded and undecoded versions, HotShot™ offers an impressive list of features to meet the requirements of specialty hand-held scanning applications:

  • Ergonomic "aim-and-shoot" design is intuitive to use and minimizes operator training.
  • HotShot™'s excellent scanning range and large "sweet spot" reads UPC/EAN bar codes from contact to 11 inches/27.8 cm, and 5 mil high-density bar codes from 0.5"/1.3 cm to 2.5"/6.4 cm.
  • The heart of the HotShot™ Scanner is Symbol's acclaimed SE 1200 Series Scan Engine. Advanced bar code reading capability includes a variety of bar code sizes, and even poorly printed and low-contrast symbols.
  • Symbol's patented Mylar™ scan element eliminates wear providing years of dependable performance, and uses less power, extending battery life in portable applications.
  • In addition to the onboard RS-232 or Keyboard Wedge interfaces, Symbol's exclusive Synapse™ "Smart Cable" offers connectivity to virtually any host type by a simple cable change.
  • HotShot™'s gold-coated optics increase first-pass read rates in a variety of lighting conditions.
  • Protective elastometric rubber overmolds absorb impact, provide easy pickup and prevent the HotShot™ from sliding off the counter, allowing for years of durable and reliable scanning service.
