Long-Range Barcode Reader for Mesa 4 Windows

10 Feb 2025

The Mesa 4 with long-range barcode imager reads 1D and 2D barcodes and imports barcode data into custom or standard programs running on the Mesa 4.  The barcode imager is located on the top of the Mesa 4 when in portrait mode. 
 

Access the long-range barcode imager from the Barcode Connector™ utility, a program included with the barcode imager. Instructions for running a scan test and Barcode Connector settings are included in the Mesa 4 User Manual, 3.2 Barcode Imager. If Barcode Connector is not available, download it from https://junipersys.com/support/article/13028.

Junipers Systems offers a pistol grip that reduces strain and maximizes productivity for heavy barcode scanning applications. The grip meets MIL-STD-810G. Find it at Mesa 7-inc Barcode Pistol Grip with Captive Screws.

Reading a Barcode

To scan a barcode,

  1. Open and minimize Barcode Connector.
  2. Open an app or a document where you want to receive the barcode data and put the cursor where you want to place the data.
  3. Aim the barcode imager at the barcode. The distance required between the barcode and Mesa 4 varies depending on the barcode being read.
  4. Aim the red LED at the barcode.
  5. Press the scan button. If the scan is successful, the barcode information is placed in your app or document. 

Clean the Barcode Window

Avoid scratching the barcode window to ensure optimal scanning. For cleaning, use clean water (tap is fine) to remove any debris and a microfiber cloth to remove smudges. When needed, use an ammonium-free window cleaner to remove hard water marks. Spray the cleaner on a microfiber cloth and then wipe the window clean.
