Applications
The Percon Series 20 decoder was designed for use in retail, warehouse, and light industrial data-collection environments where barcode wand readers needed to interface with IBM-compatible PC systems, including the IBM PC, PC/XT, and PC/AT. Percon Incorporated was a major supplier of portable and stationary barcode data-collection equipment in the 1980s and early 1990s, and the Series 20 represents their standalone decoder line for connecting barcode peripherals to RS-232 serial ports. This type of decoder is typically sought today for maintaining legacy barcode data-entry systems, inventory applications, or vintage computing setups that relied on wand-based barcode input.
This Percon Series 20 (20-000-00) barcode decoder has been inspected and is in good used condition. The unit was pulled from a working environment where it was actively in use. The housing shows light cosmetic wear consistent with normal bench or office use. The DB9 serial connector on the front panel and the rear-panel interface cable port appear clean and undamaged. The included Percon IBM PC/XT/AT cable (PN 00-001-01) with DB-25 connector is present and intact. The rear panel's Power Select switch, external power jack, and auxiliary jacks are all present and free of visible damage. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
