Description
Fast, reliable scanning — Built for modern kiosks and payment systems
The M-12 is a compact fixed mount barcode scanner engineered for high-performance scanning in demanding environments. Powered by a high-speed global shutter sensor with up to 120 fps scanning and an ultra wide-angle optical system, the M-12 effortlessly captures 1D, 2D, and OCR codes, even from mobile screens and under direct sunlight.
Designed for seamless integration into kiosks, payment terminals, counters, and self-service systems, the M-12 combines industrial-grade durability with outstanding reading performance in a sleek, low-profile form factor.
Ultra-fast omnidirectional scanning
The advanced 2D CMOS imager scans at up to 120 frames per second, enabling rapid and accurate barcode reading from virtually any angle. Ideal for fast-paced retail, ticketing, access control, and self-service applications.
Reads virtually any code
Quickly decodes:
- 1D barcodes
- 2D codes including QR codes
- OCR fonts
- Mobile device screens
The integrated Opticon scan engine enhances performance on low-quality, damaged, or moving barcodes while delivering exceptional motion tolerance.
Wide-angle optics for flexible reading distances
The M-12’s ultra wide-angle optical system allows:
- Standard QR code reading at close range
- The ultra wide-angle optical system can read standard QR codes at close range, as well as wide barcodes and large QR codes from approximately 40–45 mm away
Perfect for compact installations where scanning distance is limited.
Reliable performance in bright sunlight
A sunlight-resistant optical filter combined with an industrial-grade CMOS sensor enables accurate reading in environments up to 120,000 Lux, making the M-12 suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Compact Design for Seamless Integration
With its low-profile and space-saving design, the M-12 integrates easily into:
- Kiosks
- Payment terminals
- In- and on-counters
- Fixed mount scanning systems
- Self-service stations
Its clean and modern form factor fits naturally into any workspace or customer-facing environment.
Built for demanding environments
The M-12 is engineered for reliable operation in challenging conditions:
- IP65-rated dust and drip protection
- Operating temperature: -20°C to 60°C
Suitable for industrial, retail, transportation, and outdoor installations.
Advanced Multi-Code Data Capture
The integrated data editing program function can capture and process up to 16 codes across multiple images simultaneously, improving efficiency in high-volume scanning applications.
Connectivity
The M-12 supports:
- USB (HID, COM)
- RS232
Ensuring straightforward integration with existing systems and hardware platforms.
More options
If you appreciate the M-12’s compact design, high-performance scanning capabilities, and wide-angle optics but require greater flexibility for integration options and lighting conditions, we recommend exploring the M-12M and MDI-12. These models offer additional installation versatility and enhanced illumination configurations, making them ideal for more specialized kiosk, OEM, and embedded scanning applications while maintaining the same reliable barcode reading performance.
