Voyager and VoyagerCG are auto-trigger,
single-line laser bar code scanners designed for decoding
all standard 1D bar codes, including RSS codes. Their sleek,
futuristic designs certainly catch your attention. But looks get you
only so far, it’s performance and value that really count. It is here
that Voyager excels and sets new industry standards.

MetroSet®2 is a graphical programming utility that provides users with a Windows based tool for programming,
formatting data parsing and flashing Metrologic Voyager Series Scanners.
Simply select the scanner type from the list provided and begin programming. Users can upload their current
settings and easily make changes to create a custom configuration. This file can then be saved and used to
program multiple scanners, assuring they all have the same configuration.
Also included in MetroSet 2 is a Flash Utility that allows users to upgrade firmware by simply selecting the
file and clicking the "Flash Scanner" button. Customers can receive new firmware from Metrologic's
Technical Support Department by contacting their local Metrologic representative.
