U5C
The U5C is the CCD performer of the U series — the red-light workhorse positioned where paper barcode volume is highest and laser classing is avoidable, like venue doors and gate queues that run on paper stubs.

Stubs, not smartphones.
Not every ticket is on a phone. Venues, sports clubs and community halls still run half their gate volume on paper: printed stub, perforation barcode, and the day ticket sold at the door. The U5C punches the door — a red-line CCD tuned for the repetitive, one-scan-per-second rhythm of a real gate:
- Reads the stub the promoter printed — thermal, offset and inkjet ticket stock all sit inside the 4 mil class, including short silent-zero ticket formats.
- No laser paperwork at the door — CCD means no laser classing to explain to the venue's insurance contact, which is often the difference between same-week deployment and next-season deployment.
- Queue math — a well-run door is a scan rate problem; the U5C's trigger-cycle tuning plus zero-retry aiming keeps the line moving at the one-per-two-seconds a friendly door needs.
U5C FAQs
Yes — standard thermal ticket stock reads at the 4 mil class; the only tickets to avoid are those printed on glossy, reflective film, where every scanner misses at gate speed.
The unit is a standard commercial build — light rain is fine, heavy exposure points at the W-series industrial housing; the FAE team will tell you honestly which one fits your climate.
RS232 mode with the free SDK writes a timestamped stream your checker can audit; the 2-year warranty covers the device, and the 48h FAE line covers the format work.
