The angled rear barcode reader on the
Panasonic Toughpad™ FZ-N1 reduces the risk of repetitive strain injuries by
removing the need for users to bend at the elbow or wrist when scanning. It
also enables users to read the device screen while scanning, so workers can
complete the process faster than when using a traditional straight line barcode
reader. In addition, this Toughpad™ comes with barcode reader activation
buttons on either side of the device, making it easy to use by left- and
right-handed workers.
