Omni-directional
Operating
To read a symbol or capture an image, you sim-
ply aim the reader and pull the trigger. Since
the PowerScan™ PBT9501 is a powerful omni-
directional reader, the orientation of the sym-
bol is not important.
Decoding
Thanks to powerful algorithms, PowerScan™
PBT9501 reader reliably decodes all major 1D
(linear) barcodes, 2D stacked codes (such as
PDF417), 2D matrix symbols (such as DataMa-
trix), postal codes (such as POSTNET, PLANET).
The data stream — acquired from decoding a
symbol — is rapidly sent to the host. The reader
is immediately available to read another symbol.
Formatting and
Concatenating
The string of a decoded code may be processed
according to either a simple or advanced data
formatting and be concatenated.
Imaging
PowerScan™ PBT9501 reader can also function
as a camera by capturing entire images (valid
only for RS-232 and USB-COM on the Base Sta-
tion).
