Introduction

Product Overview

The SP5500 Optimus S Portable Data Terminals are robust and versatile data terminals designed to
provide exceptional performance, while enduring the demands of everyday use. The lithium-ion
rechargeable battery provides the Optimus with more than 100 hours of operation. It is supported by
a resourceful set of development tools. That includes a Windows-based application generator, “C”
compiler, and “Basic” compiler. The Optimus S has a fully integrated laser for scanning all barcode
symbologies, completely enclosed by the protective ergonomic housing. That built-in functionality of
the Optimus makes it an excellent choice for numerous applications. However, when combined with
the optional Bluetooth module it is the ideal solution for real time applications such as inventory
control, shop floor management, warehousing operations, and distribution operations.
