The CN80 has two options for scanners, the N6603ER standard range scanner, which turns out to be surprisingly good at DPM scanning, and the EX20 long range 2D scanner. The EX20 uses the optics from the Intermec EX25 but the decode is done externally.
The result is a much snappier scanner. Pairing the Intermec optics with a Honeywell decode has improved the CN80’s read rate without sacrificing any of the distance performance of the EX25.
