With Zebra's PL family of hardware decoders for Zebra 2D imagers, you can choose the right decoder for each and every one of your products, based on your criteria – size, form factor, features or cost-efficiency.
There is a PL hardware decoder that will fit in your product designs, no matter how much or how little room is available. The PL family includes standards size boards, miniaturised boards and a Ball Grid Array (BGA) microchip. Also, you can select a separate circuit board that connects to your board or a microchip soldered to the main circuit board.
Select the decoder that gives you the right feature set. The PL Decoder Family Series offers standards performance on virtually any barcode — 1D and 2D — as well as the excellent motion tolerance and the ability to capture images and video footage. Some decoders add features such as signature capture, OCR and multicode scanning.
For your cost-sensitive products, this family of hardware decoders allows you to stay within your projected budget, yet still get the same high quality data capture that has made Zebra the industry leader in barcode scanning and image capture.
