Highest Performance
Handheld DPM Imager
The Mobile Hawk is the world’s highest performance
handheld imager and easily reads any
challenging direct part marks (DPM), from linear
barcodes to 2D symbols. Using advanced technology,
the Mobile Hawk combines patent-pending
MAXlite illumination with aggressive X-Mode DPM
algorithms.
The result is a truly plug-and-play mobile imager
that is easy to use and extremely reliable for low
contrast DPM applications.

Read Range and other performance data is determined using high quality
Grade A symbols per ISO/IEC 15415 and ISO/IEC 15416 in a 25° C
environment. For application-specific Read Range results, testing should be
performed with symbols used in the actual application. Microscan Applications
Engineering is available to assist with evaluations. Results may vary
depending on symbol quality. Warranty–Three year limited warranty on parts
and labor. Extended warranty available.
