Compact & lightweight design
A sub-5 g engine measuring 21.5 × 7.0 × 9.9 mm.


01Overview
The SG20 combines the 1280 × 800 global-shutter imaging of the SE20 with a laser aimer for precise targeting at distance. It reads 13 mil EAN-13 codes from 5 to 72 cm and QR codes from both paper and screens.
It is intended for handheld scanners and terminals used in retail, office and light industrial settings, where operators switch constantly between near and far codes.
02Key features
A sub-5 g engine measuring 21.5 × 7.0 × 9.9 mm.
Captures sharp images of moving codes without motion blur.
Megapixel sensor reads 3.3 mil codes and symbols with as little as 10% contrast.
A bright laser aimer remains visible at the far end of the reading range.
