tracking, shipping & receiving, and point-of-sale. Designed to provide superior
performance at a price that fits your budget, the M5500 Series is the best value for
virtually any portable data collection application - even in the most demanding work
environments.
Each M5500 Series Portable Data Terminal is rugged, lightweight, and durable. The
ergonomic design of the M5500 Series enables one-handed scanning for optimal
operator comfort and maximum productivity. The M5500 Series is available in a
number of configurations to help you match desired features to your specific
application requirements. The M5500LAS features an integrated laser scanner for
scan-intensive applications up to 22 inches away. The M5510CCD incorporates a long
range CCD scanner that can reliably scan UPC bar codes up to 10 inches away. Also
available is the M5520LAS with a long range integrated laser scanner, offering a
working range out to 20 feet (6.1 meters) for 100 mil. reflective symbols.
Each M5500 Series Portable Data Terminal functions as either a portable terminal or
as an in-line keyboard wedge (non-portable), providing you with dual functionality.
Add our two-year warranty and the Windows compatible M5000 program generator,
and the M5500 Series is the smart choice for bar code data collection.
Portable Mode
In the portable mode, the M5500 Series PDT operates on three AA alkaline batteries
and stores bar code or keyed data in its 256K memory (expandable to 1.25 MB). It is
equipped with a 4-line by 20-character LCD display that offers high contrast and
wide viewing angles. You can easily review and edit data stored in the unit. Collected
data can be uploaded to a PC via the RS-232 serial interface or to a remote PC via a
Hayes compatible modem. Data can also be uploaded through the keyboard
interface using the optional M5100 keyboard wedge adapter.
Non-portable Mode
In the non-portable mode, the M5500 Series PDT operates as an in-line keyboard
wedge (M5100 keyboard wedge adapter required) or serial reader. In this mode, data
is not stored in the reader but is immediately transmitted as keyboard data to the
host computer while the keyboard remains fully functional.
Easy to Upload
Upload data from the M5500 Series PDT directly into word processors, text editors,
point-of-sale programs, inventory programs and other applications, or as an ASCII file.
Easy to Program – Includes M5000 Program Generator
Unlike some other portable data terminals, each M5500 Series PDT comes complete
with everything you need to create programs quickly and efficiently "out of the box",
without the added expense of program generator software. The M5500 Series comes
complete with six data collection programs that are preprogrammed and designed
for your everyday use. The M5500 Series PDT also includes the Windows compatible
M5000 Programmer, an integrated programming environment that enables you to
generate custom programs. The M5000 Programmer provides a variety of functions
from setting up your M5500 Series system parameters, to creating lookup and data
files as well as communication functions for sending and receiving M5500 Series PDT
files to and from the PC.
