Great Performance is now even Better!

The QuickScan 6000 Plus™ handheld scanner offers great performance at a very affordable price. With a high first pass read rate and the best speed-to-read of any scanner in its class, the QS6000 Plus speeds retail checkout. And its 13" (33 cm) depth of field with 100% UPC labels extends the user’s working range.

With a high visibility option, utilizing a 650nm laser diode, the user can target and read bar codes even in bright light conditions due to the scanner’s inherent tolerance of high ambient light conditions. Plus, PSC’s advanced electronics perform well even when reading low contrast labels with poor edge definition.

Features include:

• Low power consumption
• AutoSense® stand for hands-free operation
• Dual interfaces with AutoSelect™
• Optional EAS antenna for simultaneous scanning and security tag deactivation
• Universal wedge for additional keyboard emulation, bar code symbologies and data editing
