At Eight Ounces, Including Battery, ScanPlus 1802 is Light, Yet Durable
For Demanding Retail and Healthcare Environments
EVERETT, Wash., Sept. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Intermec Technologies Corp. today
announced the availability in North America of its ScanPlus 1802 wireless
automated data collection scanner and the MicroBar 9745 Base Station. Both
products were launched in Europe earlier this summer.
The ScanPlus 1802, a compact and high-performing hand-held ADC scanner
designed for retail, light industrial, healthcare and office environments,
extends the reach of scanning since, with no cord, no bar code is out of
reach.
With a scanning operating range of up to 16.5 feet and battery life of
7,000 scans (up to eight hours of constant use), the ScanPlus 1802 offers
exceptional performance where mobility and long battery life are required. The
integrated NiMH battery pack is quickly recharged by the advanced two-bay,
high-speed charger for another day of intensive use.
The ScanPlus 1802's advanced technology allows it to read even poorly
printed or damaged bar codes and to obtain reliable information, even under
the most challenging circumstances. In addition, at only eight ounces,
including battery, it retains the ScanPlus 1800 series' light weight and
ergonomic shape.
"The ScanPlus 1802 is extremely comfortable to use, has excellent reading
performance and is easy to set up, which combine to make it a very attractive
product for us to distribute," said Graham Fenton, managing director of
Synergix, in the United Kingdom.
In addition, the ScanPlus 1802 is highly flexible. With a choice between
CCD and laser scanning devices and the ability to connect with more than
1,500 host terminal interfaces, ScanPlus 1802 can match the requirements of
the most demanding applications. Because upgrades are easy with the included
Flash EPROM memory, companies will find the 1802 both fits well into current
environments and adapts as needs change.
"The ScanPlus 1802 is perfect for situations when it is difficult to get
to the bar code or when a multitude of cables can impede a work area," said
Tom Greer, Intermec product marketing manager. "Its light weight and ergonomic
design make it easy for people to use all day without fatigue."
The MicroBar 9735 base station works with many wireless scanners and input
devices, reducing the cost of a company's automated data collection system. As
with the MicroBar 9730, the 9735 offers advanced data formatting capabilities,
allowing customers to easily delete, mask, move or add characters to messages
transmitted to the terminal.
The ScanPlus 1802 uses narrow band technology at 433MHz and 908MHz for
data transmission, the most efficient and reliable bandwidths available. The
two-way communication system between the scanner and its base station MicroBar
9735 allows real-time transmission control and acknowledgement to ensure
complete reliability.
The 1802 features EasySet(TM), Intermec's Windows-based scanner
configuration software that allows users to set up Intermec products simply by
scanning a series of bar codes. In off-line mode, EasySet allows users to
easily construct and print a page of set-up bar codes that users scan to
configure one or more scanners. To associate a scanner to its base station,
users simply read the Associating Bar Code on the MicroBar 9735. To work in
another area, an operator needs only to scan the bar code on the corresponding
base. With EasySet, the scanner is up and running in a matter of minutes, and
it can be reconfigured in real time, giving the user total control.
