Handheld barcode scanner Manhattan Contact CCD

The Handheld Barcode Scanner Manhattan Contact CCD is a wired 1D barcode reader designed for everyday data capture at point-of-sale, shipping, warehousing and office environments. Its CCD sensor has no moving parts, supports a wide range of linear barcodes (including UPC, EAN, Code 128 and Code 39), and connects via a switchable USB or PS/2 cable that emulates keyboard input so scanned data appears directly in the active application. The scanner offers a maximum read rate of 120 scans per second, an effective read range up to 20 mm (0.78 in.), an 80 mm scan width and comes in a durable ABS housing with a 152 cm cable.

Advantages

The Manhattan Contact CCD provides reliable, maintenance-free scanning due to its solid-state CCD engine and no moving parts. Its keyboard wedge decoder and switchable USB/PS‑2 interface simplify integration with most PCs without requiring an external power supply. Lightweight construction (0.39 kg), FCC and CE certifications, and low power consumption make it suitable for continuous use in retail and logistics tasks where speed and accuracy reduce manual entry and errors.

Suitable for

• Point-of-sale barcode capture
• Shipping and receiving

How to use

Connect the scanner to a computer using the included cable and select the appropriate interface (USB or PS/2). Position the scanner so the barcode fills the 80 mm scan window and move the scanner or label until a successful read occurs; scanned data will be sent to the active application as keyboard input. For best results, keep the barcode surface clean and avoid extreme angles between the scanner and the code. The device requires no external power supply and is ready to use once connected and recognized by the host system.

Recommendations

Use the Manhattan Contact CCD for routine 1D barcode scanning in controlled indoor lighting (up to 3,000 lux). Avoid scanning damaged or highly reflective labels. Regularly inspect the scan window and clean with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain consistent read performance.
