Description

The HBCR-1612 Hewlett-Packard Single Chip Bar Code Decoder IC offers flexible bar code decoding that is designed to give OEMs the ability to address a growing number of industry segments and applications.

Flexibility is made possible through firmware that allows the HBCR-1612 IC to automatically recognize and decode the most popular bar code symbologies. User implementation is easy since only a few supporting components are required.

The HBCR-1610 series decodes the most popular bar code symbologies used in applications in government, retail, industrial and medical markets. The IC automatically discriminates and decodes the following symbologies:
• Code 39 (Standard or Extended)

• Interleaved 2 of 5
• UPC A, E0, E1
• EAN/JAN 8, 13
• Codabar
• Code 128

All HBCR-1612 bar codes may be scanned bidirectionally except for UPC/ EAN/JAN bar codes with supplementaldigits, which must be scanned so that the supplemental digits are scanned last.
