1.1 FORMULA COLOR™ TERMINAL DESCRIPTION
The Formula Color™ professional mobile computer has been designed to satisfy a
wide range of data collection tasks in retail, light industrial, and health care
environments.
Formula Color™ offers operators compact-sized ergonomics combined with a very
intuitive user interface, which includes the “green spot” (Datalogic patent application),
providing “good read” feedback directly on the code, where the user usually tends to
be looking.
Furthermore, the large, bright, easy-to-read color display is ideal for indoor/outdoor
use and helps users work more efficiently, while the practical 30-key “mobile phone-
like” keypad allows data, codes and descriptions to be input very quickly.
The best performance in barcode data capture is granted by Formula Color’s™
miniature scanning engine, providing a very bright laser beam and great reading
results on any kind of code or surface. In addition, to support long-term scan-
intensive warehousing operations, Formula Color™ takes advantage of a
removable/rechargeable Li-ION high power battery pack.
Fast data computing is performed by the powerful hardware platform, based on PC
technology, supported by the oversized standard memory: 8 MB Ram + 8 MB Flash
that can be upgraded to 512 MB through a standard compact flash memory card.
The integrated Wi-Fi card for Wireless standard IEEE802.11b communication, allows
Formula Color™ to access any Wi-Fi compliant WLAN infrastructure and be
immediately on line with any WMS through DL-TCL, Datalogic’s terminal emulator
software that supports both VT100/220 and IBM5250 standards.
Formula Color™ also offers a large selection of peripherals and accessories. It is
compatible with most of Datalogic’s software tools, such as DL Mobile
Configurator™, DL Keep Connecting™, DL TN Link™, DL Web-Link™ and MCL
Collection™ Suite for programming, monitoring and configuration operations.
