PowerScan 2D: Setting a New Standard For Imaging
The PowerScan family of handheld bar code scanners has been specifically designed "from the ground up" to meet the requirements of the most demanding users. In this tough environment, the right tool makes all the difference. With a PSC PowerScan scanner on the job, you'll have one of the toughest, most reliable tools around.

The PowerScan 2D imaging scanner brings the latest imaging technology into the industry leading PowerScan product line. Whether your application requires reading traditional linear barcodes, reading stacked 2D symbologies like PDF417, reading matrix 2D symbologies like Data Matrix and MaxiCode or capturing images like signatures or photographs of other objects, the PowerScan 2D scanner will meet your needs.

Dependable In The Harshest Conditions
Even in the harshest working environments, you can depend on the PowerScan 2D scanner to keep on working. The scanner has a sealing rating of IP54 which means it can withstand intermittent rain showers and keep on working. PowerScan 2D also operates over a wide temperature range from 14° F (10° C) to over 122° F (50° C).

Built To Stand Up To Abuse
Handheld scanners often are dropped and abused, so this scanner has been designed with high impact-resistant material and incorporates protective rubber cushioning at every point of impact. This protection coupled with the solid state scan engine gives the scanner the most stringent drop specification in the industry - multiple 6.5' (2 m) drops to concrete. The scan window is made of shatterproof material and is diamond coated to resist scratching. Even the replaceable interface cable is protected with an integrated metal strain relief.

Advanced Imaging Capabilities
The state of the art imaging technology employed in the PowerScan 2D scanner future-proofs your investment. The scanner can quickly and omni directionally read all standard 1D labels - there is no need to orient the scanner to the label. In addition, stacked 2D labels like PDF417, RSS and composites as well as matrix 2D labels are easily read in a point and shoot manner - the scanner doesn't have to be oriented or moved over the label. Need to capture a signature or other document image? That's easy with PowerScan 2D, and photo quality images of any object can be captured indoors or out.

Two separate versions of the PowerScan 2D Imager are available to suit your specific application: the Standard Range (SR) model is well suited to most imaging needs and provides the greatest depth-of-field on medium to low density labels, while the High Density (HD) model is best for reading higher density labels like 6.6 mil PDF417.
