Using the PowerScan™ PBT9501

The PowerScan™ PBT9501 reader normally functions by 
capturing and decoding bar codes. The reader is equipped 
with an internal Motionix™ motion-sensing function which 
activates the aiming system on device motion. The intelli-
gent aiming system indicates the field of view which 
should be positioned over the bar code:

Table 1. Aiming System

Autoscanning

An autoscan command causes the reader to 
scan continuously and to monitor the central 
zone of its reading area.

Flash Memory

Flash technology allows you to upgrade the 
PowerScan™ PBT9501 reader as new symbolo-
gies are supported or as new features become 
available.

USA Driver License 
Parsing

The reader can be set up to  select and output a 
subset of data elements from USA Driver 
License PDF417 barcodes. This feature can be 
enabled using either Datalogic Aladdin™ or the 
barcodes in the USA Driver License Parsing 
Quick Reference Guide (QRG), available on the 
Datalogic website.
