CHAPTER 1 Getting Started

The HE45T establishes a new benchmark for Portable Data
Terminals and Hand Held computers by combining the industry’s
best imaging technology with a graphic display and rugged
keyboard to create the smallest and lightest full-featured bar code
reading terminal on the market.

Using the same ergonomic platform as the highly successful
HE40T, which employs Microscan’s industry leading Direct Part
Mark (DPM) technology, the HE45T extends mobile all-symbology
bar code reading to include information display and keyboard entry .
This combination has created a reading system that supports:

• DPM applications

• Department of Defense Unique Iden tification (DoD UID)

• High density matrix codes and larger low density linear
barcodes

• Superior working range• High-speed omn i-direction al
decoding

• Cordless and cabled interfaces

• Portable data terminal

• Unsurpassed data rat es
