What is UV?
UV stands for Ultra Violet, and represents a frequency of light, at which some security barcode inks and ribbons fluoresce. InData Systems has patended optics, which are able to "see" and decode the otherwise invisible barcodes printed in UV inks.

Can I read linear barcodes with the various InData Optics and Readers?
Yes, but they must fit within the F.O.V. of the optics used, or you must remove the InData Systems Optics to allow reading of larger Linear codes.

What size linear barcodes can I read with the UV optics?
All InData Systems scanners are able to read the following 2-D barcodes; PDF417, MicroPDF417, MaxiCode, Data Matrix, QR Code, Aztec, Aztec Mesas, Code 49, and EAN*UCC Composite, as well as the following linear barcodes; Codabar, Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Code 93, Code 128, UPC, EAN, RSS and Codablock.
