The QuickScan plugs directly into the host

Decoding

bar codes, including GS1 DataBar™ linear codes, 
Postal Codes (China Post), Stacked Codes (such as 
GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked, GS1 DataBar 
Stacked, GS1 DataBar, Stacked Omnidirectional).
The data stream — acquired from decoding a sym-
bol — is rapidly sent to the host. The reader is 
immediately available to read another symbol.
