R36
The R36 is the counter-workhorse presentation scanner of the R series — the intermediate hands-free window between entry and imaging, bought for counters whose read volume has outgrown the entry unit but not the budget.

The counter's read volume has a middle answer.
Pharmacy counters are the classic workhorse story: moderate read volume, sustained rhythm, and zero patience for a scanning ceremony — the pack crosses the window between answering the customer. The R36 is the middle position that takes that rhythm all shift, with the full 2D set carrying the pack's own serialization:
- Present-and-go at the counter — the pack slides across the window while the conversation continues; the workhorse tuning reads on the present gesture, not the pick-up.
- Serialized packs meet the window daily — the DataMatrix on newer pack stock decodes at the same window as the EAN; policy stays one channel, one device.
- Counter budget with headroom — MOQ 1 pc and the 2-year warranty fit a counter that runs the whole afternoon; the FAE team re-times the window in 48h if the flow changes.
R36 FAQs
Volume per shift: once the window runs continuously and the entry unit starts showing its rate limit, the workhorse's sustained rhythm is the honest answer — the FAE team measures your actual pass rate in the pilot to close the question.
Labels exposed at tray-top read inside the window's depth; packs down inside the tray need clearance to the face — one day at the real counter settles the geometry truthfully.
Yes — USB HID feeds it as keystrokes; RS232 with the free SDK routine serves the dispensary's own integration, verified by the FAE line within 48h.
