Great Performance is now even Better!

The QuickScan® QS2500 Linear Imager Handheld Scanner is the newest member of the QuickScan® product family. For retail, office, and light-industrial applications, the QS2500's 200 scans-per-second linear imager scan engine provides snappy reading performance and an extended depth-of-field. And the QS2500 also reads poorly printed bar code labels quickly and easily.

The QS2500 is capable of reading a wide range of bar code symbologies, including Reduced Space Symbology (RSS) and PDF417, allowing you flexibility in reading now and in the future. It also features flash memory for easy software upgrades, along with programming and label editing. Its enclosure is lightweight and ergonomic, and a hands-free tabletop stand is available.

The QS2500's Linear Imager scan engine has no moving parts and will reliably read for years to come. It withstands 5' (1.5m) drops to concrete and has an IP42 sealing rating to protect it in most indoor applications. In addition, the QS2500 utilizes the same high-quality interface cables shared by other PSC handhelds, including the rugged PowerScan™ industrial handheld scanner. And the QS2500 is backed by PSC's three-year factory warranty on the scanner, and a one-year warranty on PSC interface cables.

The QS2500 is loaded with performance, features and reliability all at a surprisingly low price. Its three-year warranty and low purchase price minimize your cost of ownership. The QS2500 is an exceptional value!

Features:

• Agressive reading and an extended depth-of-field
• Reads Reduced Space Symbology (RSS), PDF417 and linear codes for flexibility
• Ergonomic "aim and shoot" design
• Reliable and durable providing long lasting performance
