Product Features
Technical Overview
The NuScan 3000 utilizes a CMOS image sensor with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels, enabling precise capture of barcodes even under challenging conditions. It supports a wide array of 1D symbologies including UPC/EAN/JAN, Code 128, Code 39, and Interleaved 2 of 5, alongside 2D formats like QR Code, PDF417, and DataMatrix. This ensures compatibility with virtually all standard and industrial labeling systems.
Technical performance is enhanced by a 60° pitch and 360° roll reading angle, allowing for flexible scanning orientations. The scanner maintains a motion tolerance of 5 in/s (127 mm/s) and operates effectively in ambient light up to 100,000 lux. Minimum element resolution reaches 4.10 mil (0.10 mm) for Code 39 and 15 mil (0.38 mm) for DataMatrix, supporting both high-density and standard barcodes.
