2.  Introduction 

Bar coding is the most common Automated Data Collection (ADC) technology 

providing timely, error-free information that can be used to increase productivity, 

accuracy and efficiency in the workplace.  

The Charged Coupled Device (CCD) technology is a technique whereby a barcode is 

photographed, digitized and electronically sampled by built-in photo detectors.  The 

detectors process the measurement of every bar and space using the number of 

adjacent photo detectors which contrast a black mark and a white space.  Of all the 

hand held bar code scanning devices on the market, the CCD reader is the easiest to 

use and most cost effective for the typical business user.  To activate the scanner, the 

user simply points the scanning aperture towards the barcode, pulls the trigger, and 

aims the red beam across the barcode. 

The NUSCAN 2100 Handheld Barcode Scanner utilizes a high sensitive CCD sensor. 

With a wide service window, the scanner offers an unbeatable first read success rates, 

Its built-in hardware decoder means the scanner is able to accurately recognize most 

of the popular barcodes in the world. 

NUSCAN 2100 has a handy status LED indicator and a programmable beeper which 

give users both visual and audio cues about scan status. This further increase 

accuracy and efficiency. 

With rugged design and ergonomic styling, NUSCAN 2100 also offers superior 

reliability and reduces user fatigue.
