Available in black or pale grey the Voyager is a dual action 'Hand Held'
or 'Hands Free' laser scanner. It is a stylish, lightweight and fully automatic
scanner designed for easy barcode reading. Typical use would be in a retail
store where hands free scanning is often needed - for example scanning garment tags.
The Voyager senses when it is in the stand and automatically configures itself for
hands free use. It has a proximity sensor which auto switches the laser beam when a barcode is
bought into range eliminating the need for a trigger witch. Simply lift from the stand for
conventional hand scanning - no reconfiguration is necessary.
A safe, low power laser beam is emitted from the scanner towards the barcode. The beam is
swept from side to side 72 times each second and appears like a single bright red line
of light. If the line passes across a barcode it will be instantly identified and decoded. The
MS9540 model has a unique system enabling a single barcode to be picked out if the codes are
stacked closely together. Metrologic call this their 'CodeGate' system.
The scanner includes a special (programmable) timeout mechanism that prevents
duplicate reads of the same barcode. After a period of inactivity the laser automatically
switches off and the scanner enters stand-by mode in order to reduce power consumption.
The scanner is maintenance free and sealed against dust and airborne contaminates. It requires
only an occasional cleaning of the window.
A successful read is indicated by an adjustable tone and indicator LEDs. The LEDs
are mounted on the back of the scanner and are visible during hand-held use or on the stand.
The Voyager is a low priced fully specified laser scanner designed for easy hand-held or
hands-free barcode scanning.
Power consumption is less than 1 watt even when the Laser is running. The exceptionally low
power consumption and consequential minimal temperature rise contribute to its exceptional
reliability and long trouble free life.
The Voyager supersedes the very popular MS900 and MS951 models. It does everything those
scanners did and more.

The Voyager is a popular full featured stylish laser scanner,
perfect for upmarket retail use - I like it.
I am often asked “what is the Codegate feature and why would I need it? ”
CodeGate is just a fancy name for a special button on the back of the scanner.
When the laser lines up with the barcode you press the button and the scanner zaps just
that single barcode. In contrast the non Codegate version scans the first barcode it sees.
If you have ever tried to pick out a single barcode on a sheet
of closely printed codes you will realise just how useful that can be. If you never
have to navigate closely printed multiple barcodes then you may not need Codegate.
Still unsure if you will ever need Codegate? Well the CodeGate switch can be disabled.
The scanner then acts exactly like the non Codegate version. So the Codegate
version can do both jobs. Its your decision!
