FAQ
What types of barcodes can this scanner read?
The Datalogic TD1170-BK-90 reads 1D (linear) barcodes exclusively. It autodiscriminates all standard 1D linear codes including UPC/EAN, Code 39, Code 128, and GS1 DataBar linear variants. The scanner also supports specific stacked codes like GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked, GS1 DataBar Stacked, and GS1 DataBar Stacked Omnidirectional. It does not read 2D codes such as QR codes or Data Matrix.
How does the omni-directional scanning work?
Omni-directional scanning allows the scanner to read barcodes from multiple orientations without requiring precise alignment. The linear imager captures barcode data regardless of whether the scanner is moved horizontally, vertically, or at angles across the label. This reduces operator effort and increases scanning speed in busy environments like retail checkouts or warehouse operations.
What interfaces does this scanner support for connecting to my system?
This scanner offers dual host interface options: keyboard wedge and serial (RS-232). The keyboard wedge interface emulates keyboard input, allowing the scanner to work with most POS systems and computers without additional drivers. The serial interface provides direct RS-232 connectivity for industrial or legacy systems. Both interfaces are available through the fixed cable connection.
Is this scanner suitable for retail point-of-sale use?
Yes, the TD1170-BK-90 is designed for general-purpose scanning including retail POS applications. Its 1D scanning capability covers standard retail barcodes like UPC and EAN, while the keyboard wedge interface integrates seamlessly with most POS terminals. The handheld form factor and omni-directional scanning support fast transaction processing at checkout counters.
What are the physical dimensions and weight of this scanner?
The scanner measures 6.70 inches in height (170.18 mm), 2.70 inches in width (68.58 mm), and 4.10 inches in depth (104.14 mm). It weighs approximately 5.40 ounces (153.09 grams). These compact dimensions and lightweight construction make it comfortable for extended handheld use in various business environments.
Does this scanner require special software or drivers to operate?
No special software or drivers are required for basic operation. When using the keyboard wedge interface, the scanner emulates keyboard input, making it plug-and-play compatible with most systems. For serial interface use, standard serial port configuration may be needed, but no proprietary software installation is necessary. The scanner works with any system that accepts keyboard input or serial data.
What duplex or duty-cycle detail is listed?
the specifications are intended to help buyers confirm fit, compatibility, and expected day-to-day operation. In practical terms, the best reading of this product comes from how its hardware, connectivity, and deployment details work together.
What connectivity options are listed?
