Introduction
Product Description
Matrix 300N is a Datalogic industrial compact 2D imager designed and produced 
to be a high performance affordable solution for both linear and two-
dimensional code reading applications.
Matrix 300N uses imaging technology and provides complete reading system 
functions by integrating image capturing, decoding and communicating in a 
single compact and versatile product.
Matrix 300N features excellent reading and verifying performance thanks to its 
smart proprietary decoding libraries and powerful sensor. In particular, the 
device comes in models with two different sensors: 1.3 megapixels and 2 
megapixels.
Innovative X-PRESS interface, combined with illuminator laser pointers for 
aiming, autofocus and a Good Read Spot, enhance the ease of setup and use.
Rugged construction, IP65 and IP67 protection, and max. 50°C operative 
temperature make the Matrix 300N the ideal product for industrial applications.
Matrix 300N has been developed for use in numerous industries like:

in the scanned images. This feature does not take into consideration external environmental 
lighting parameters, therefore it cannot be equated with the official 2D code verification func
