Symbol M2000 Cyclone Omni-Directional Scan Pattern: A rotating omni-directional scan pattern provides the highest possible throughput by eliminating scan pattern "holes." In Cyclone mode, the scanner efficiently reads even truncated bar codes. Smart Raster Scan Pattern: The Symbol M2000's scan pattern automatically opens up and covers 2-D and CS symbols for extremely efficient data capture. Provides the best scanning performance on damaged and poorly printed bar codes, while eliminating the need for operator training.

High Density Single Line Scan Pattern: The Symbol Cyclone M2000's single scan line appears as a "mini" raster and scans multiple areas of 1-D codes to swiftly and accurately capture data on poorly printed and damaged bar coded menus and pick lists.

Bright LEDs indicate which scan pattern is working. For intuitive aiming accuracy, even in the brightest lighting conditions and for can't miss, single-pass scanning, the 635 – 650-nm laser diode emits a highly visible beam for easy-to-see scan patterns. When you lift the scanner off the counter, it automatically switches from hands-free to hand-held mode. The Symbol Cyclone M2000 immediately adjusts the scan pattern for optimum hand-held data capture. Put the scanner back on the counter and it automatically returns to hands-free mode.

There's no need to change the scanner's orientation when changing the scan pattern. All of the scan patterns exit the Symbol Cyclone from the large, scratch-resistant and deeply recessed window at the front of the scanner. The broad, rounded stand supplies rock solid support for checkstand or countertop use. For maximum non-slip security, rubber feet cushion the bottom of the scanner.

Symbol Cyclone bar code scanners offer a host of high-performance features for unmatched adaptability at the point of sale. The Symbol M2000 bar code scanner provides direct connections to IBM, USB, RS-232 and Symbol's Synapse "smart" cabling that provides connectivity to all popular host terminals. Synapse Smart Cables eliminate the need for separate scanner-to-host controllers. Electronic Article Surveillance deactivation is also an option; locating the deactivation antenna within the scanner saves precious space at the point of sale, and eliminates secondary operations.

Advanced Data Formatting, another Symbol breakthrough, enhances M2000 data capture productivity. No need to modify host-system software to match data input formats. Instead, simply program the M2000. The scanner translates the bar code string and, for later tracking, stamps the bar code prefix with time, date and the number of the employee who scanned the data.

Like every scanner from Symbol, the M2000 is an unbeatable value because it is backed by Symbol's global network of service and support from the world leader in bar code-driven data management systems, with millions of scanners and terminals installed.
