VoyagerPDF™ is a handheld bar code scanner capable of decoding all standard 1D, 2D (PDF417), RSS and composite symbologies.

Metrologic's VoyagerPDF is feature rich and offers the same outstanding performance found in all Voyager Series scanners. What differentiates the VoyagerPDF scanner is its added ability to decode 2D codes such as PDF417, PDF417 truncated, micro PDF, macro PDF and RSS-14 composite bar code symbologies.

VoyagerPDF decodes PDF417 by sweeping the high-speed laser scan line up or down over the code gathering information from each line. Integrating a high performance processor with software designed to optimize 2D performance, we created a product with exceptional scan performance. PDF codes are emerging in a variety of markets and in a multitude of applications. Many government agencies are incorporating PDF codes on driver's licenses and automobile registration cards. These cards will assist retailers with age verification particularly helpful in preventing the sale of tobacco or alcohol products to underage persons. Other applications utilizing PDF codes include national identification cards, e-Stamps, pharmaceutical and customer loyalty cards.

Two models of VoyagerPDF are available: MS9524 and MS9544. Both offer the same set of outstanding features with the MS9544 being enhanced with Metrologic's patented CodeGate feature. CodeGate is used when decoding 1D bar codes. This feature allows data to be transferred to the host system quite easily. Simply aim the laser line on the selected bar code, click the button, and the data is sent.
