Introduction

About the Scanner

The RIDA DBT6400 by Datalogic is a Bluetooth Companion reader (2D Imager) that enables real-time barcode scanning into any Bluetooth ready device including Android, iOS and Windows.

Thanks to its extremely reduced size, the DBT6400 fits easily into a pocket and is the ideal choice for applications like field sales and service, inventory management, retail point-of-sale (POS), Healthcare and many more.

The attractive design and the light weight that characterize the DBT6400 allow the scanner to be easily worn around the user’s neck with the lanyard supplied or clipped in a pocket.

Datalogic’s exclusive patented ‘Green Spot’ for good read feedback helps to improve productivity in noisy environments or in situations where silence is required.

The RIDA DBT6400 has several customizable features:

•the reader's attractive illumination changes color to indicate its status and can be personalized by the user.

•the option to use personal jingles (a short userdefined tune uploaded via Datalogic Aladdin™ configuration software) instead of the normal beep tone.

The RIDA DBT6400 can be used with his Bluetooth base station BC6020. The base station can be used for placement of the DBT6400 allowing for charging and Host wired connection.

Using the RIDA DBT6400

The RIDA DBT6400 normally functions by capturing and decoding codes. The aiming system is activated on trigger pull and indicates the center of the field of view which should be positioned over the barcode:

Aiming System

Product Reference Guide

Introduction

Relative Size and Location of Aiming System Pattern

2D Matrix symbol

Linear barcode

A beam illuminates the label. The projected pattern of the aiming system will be smaller when the reader is closer to the barcode and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit.
