3800PDF
Handheld Linear Imager for PDF417
Now with RSS
The 3800PDF model delivers fast and accurate
reading of PDF417 codes as well as all standard
linear symbologies. The specially designed hardware and firmware are optimized for exceptional
PDF417 performance in all types of scanning
applications. PDF417 reading is accomplished by
sweeping the scanner up or down over the code,
quickly gathering, decoding, and outputting the data
to the host system. The scanner ticks while collecting
data, providing instant user feedback on performance. All symbologies are automatically discriminated with no reduction in decoding speed.
Features
PDF Decoding - Fast, accurate, economical PDF reading
using an innovative feedback design.
Bright, Sharp and Focused Aiming Line - Easy to aim and
scan codes in any lighting condition from darkness to full
sunlight, tightly stacked bar code sheets, or small, high
resolution labels.
Solid, Rugged Design - No moving parts inside and solid
construction outside deliver years of reliable service in
demanding work environments.
Modern Design - Attractive styling compliments most
existing POS environments, while user comfort is enhanced
by the smooth handle curves, soft molded grip area, and
comfortable trigger.
Powerful, Flexible Architecture - Connects and interfaces to
all major PCs and terminals easily and quickly with
Windows
programming menus.
Increased Reading Distances - Easily covers the full range
of handheld scanning uses in point of sale and general
purpose scanning applications.
Real World Reading Performance - Accommodates printer
induced bar space variation, faded labels, short quiet zones,
low contrast codes, dot matrix printing, and multipart forms
with higher resolution, better optics, and improved decoding
algorithms.

The 3800PDF is a high performance, handheld bar
code scanner. The 3800PDF uses linear imaging
technology to set a new standard for handheld
scanners by combining a bright, sharp aiming line
with high resolution imaging to deliver exceptional
reading performance.
Each decoded output scanner has the capability to
connect as a keyboard wedge, use the serial port,
output non decoded laser compatible signals, or
operate in wand emulation mode. The 3800PDF
connects to all popular PCs, Apple MAC, USB, and
portable data terminals. A non decoded mode can
be used with external wedge decoders and portable
terminals or other devices with decoding capability.
Standard cables are used to reduce replacement
expense.
The 3800PDF is excellent in handheld scanning
applications, such as retail point of sale and in-store
inventory. It operates from a tabletop holder in
manual trigger mode, or may be placed in an
adjustable stand for automated operation. The
3800PDF can be used indoors or outside in bright
sunlight. Typical applications are retail point of sale,
in-store inventory, document management, transaction processing of bar coded receipts, payment
counter, outdoor sales kiosks, and reading of vehicle
registrations.
