The main advantages of the Combi-Reader X-15 compared to other commercial handheld scanners/readers are its flexibility in terms of character & barcodes reading, its reliability and excellent recognition rates. 

Last but not least, its unmatched cost structure makes the Combi-Reader X-15 one of the best choices for the combined reading of OCR-B, MICR (E-13B) and 1-D barcodes. This innovative device will find applications in banks, post offices, government agencies, hospitals, airports, libraries, etc where a large variety of codes can be found. The Combi-Reader X-15 technology pushes the operating ranges for contrast and printing quality well beyond that of competing technologies.

On addition to the main advantages of the Combi-Reader X-15 the new Combi-Reader X-35 introduce a wider scanning area of 35 mm that enables the reader to decode 2-D barcodes, 2-Lines OCR-B characters simultaneously and with the embedded advance Optical Character Recognition engine to read full alphanumeric text up to the maximum scanning aperture of 35 mm.

As the with the Combi-Reader X-15, Combi-Reader X-35 maintains a low cost that makes the reader one of the best choices for the combined reading of OCR-B, MICR (E-13B), 1-D and 2-D barcodes, 2-Lines OCR-B and full alphanumeric text.

Xemtec’s technical approach for Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is to shift the low-level processing of the characters into the sensor itself, thus realizing "silicon retina". Unlike the classical software approach based on image transcriptions from CCD or CMOS imagers subsequent processing by powerful microprocessors, our approach greatly reduces the complexity of the system, its cost and the power consumption, maintaining high reliability, robustness and processing.
