NEWARK, Calif., Aug. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Socket Mobile,
Inc. (NASDAQ: SCKT), a leading provider of data capture and
delivery solutions designed to enhance workplace productivity, is
excited to announce the release of an updated version of the
SocketScan S740. The S740 now comes with a variety of
versatile new features and performance enhancements.
The S740 is a Universal Barcode Scanner able to read 1D and 2D
barcodes. With version 21 upgrades, the S740 reads 1D, 2D, OCR A
& B fonts, OCR USC, OCR passport, OCR MICR (E13B) fonts and
DotCode, covering most travel identification documents, including
passports, international IDs and micro QR codes on drivers'
licenses. Additionally, the upgrade improves smaller barcode
scanning, providing an expanded scanning range of 2 to 19 inches.
The universe of what the S740 can do has expanded at no
additional cost to the end-user.
"These improvements position the S740 as an ideal option for the
many POS/retail outlets that require age verification. For retail
businesses that sell cannabis, alcohol or tobacco, the S740 is an
all-in-one scanning device, allowing workers to verify age and
complete POS operations with a single device, minimizing the
equipment needed. Plus, with a larger working range and the ability
to scan smaller barcodes, there's no need to reposition the scanner
to capture barcodes, making it easier than ever to use," said
Vanessa Lindsay, Senior Product
Manager at Socket Mobile.
Like the rest of the SocketScan family, the S740 has a
lightweight, ergonomic design and long-lasting batteries. The
scanner is exceptionally easy to use, with intuitive notifications
for battery level, Bluetooth connection, and scanning status. The
S740 is designed to be software compatible with all applications,
as well as Android, iOS and Windows devices.
The S740 is also an excellent choice for businesses offering
duty-free purchases or other establishments that need to scan a
passport to complete transactions. The S740 can scan UPCs on
merchandise, QR codes for loyalty cards, OCR alphanumeric
information on passports and IDs, plus the latest DotCode.
In addition, for situations and environments requiring a
sturdier barcode scanner, the DuraScan D740 will have the same
variety of new features and performance enhancements as the
S740.
"The need for digital ID verification continues to grow.
Vaccination status and legal age requirements are just two examples
of where application providers can help provide secure, convenient
authentication to allow access to goods, services, and
venues. Socket Mobile's data capture devices help facilitate
this trend now and in the coming years," said Dave Holmes, Chief Business Officer at Socket
Mobile.
For the most reliable and consistent performance, verify with
your application provider that Socket Mobile's latest Capture SDK
is implemented in your app. A single integration with Socket
Mobile's Capture SDK allows you to utilize any of Socket's data
capture devices (barcode scanners or NFC reader/writers).
