The compact hybrid barcode scanner creates more space the counter. Gas stations, pharmacy or supermarket checkouts are therefore ideal areas of usage. But it is equally excellently suited for event entry areas or in healthcare, for example, at patient reception. Various interfaces from a keyboard wedge to a serial or USB port ensure for non-problematic installation at a later time. Because of its light weight of just 410 g, the 7190g is ideally suited for operation as an omni-directional handheld scanner, for example, for scanning large and bulky objects which cannot be lifted onto the cash desk.
