2 Introduction
The BCP-5500 is a compact and cost-effective
data collector that allows its operator to collect
data without distance limitation. It is the ideal
device for inventory and stocktaking. By featuring
the fast-responding scan engines (CCD or Laser)
and the powerful decoder, BCP-5500 is capable
of performing data-collecting tasks that time is an
important issue. And the stylish and easy-to-grip
design is a merit for operators especially for
long-time operation.
Equipped with the application software, and large
internal memory, BCP-5500 offers the advantages of high-speed scanning,
reliability and easy operation. In addition, it also gives the operators greater
mobility for scanning those tough to reach barcodes. The embedded utility
software provides users with easy data management of the scanned data
that suits for variety of business needs: Inventory, Warehouse, Stock and
Order Picking, and Shipping/Receiving Management.
