Handheld bar code reader Datalogic QuickScan QD2500

The Datalogic QuickScan QD2500 is a corded handheld barcode reader designed for reliable, repeatable performance in retail and other commercial environments. Lightweight and durable, it reads a wide range of 1D and 2D codes, including poorly printed or damaged barcodes, postal and stacked codes, dotcodes and digital watermark codes. The imager is optimized to read through plexiglass barriers and is suitable for high-volume point-of-sale use, offering omnidirectional scanning and consistent operation over long periods.

Advantages

The QuickScan QD2500 provides dependable reads with audible, tactile and visual feedback, including Datalogic's Green Spot visual confirmation of successful scans. It features 1 MP optics for good depth of field and omnidirectional scanning for flexible orientation. The scanner is built for durability, rated to survive 1.5 m (5 ft) drops and more than 10 million trigger presses, and its Motionix wake-up technology activates scanning as soon as the device is picked up. Adjustable aiming brightness and robust cabling ensure comfortable and continuous operation.

How to use

To scan, aim the targeting triangles at the barcode and pull the trigger; the Green Spot and audible/tactile feedback will confirm a successful read. The imager reads codes omnidirectionally and can capture barcodes displayed on phone screens or through plexiglass barriers. Adjust aiming brightness if necessary for operator comfort.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, mount the scanner cable securely to prevent excessive bending, avoid exposing the device to prolonged direct sunlight on the optics, and follow the manufacturer's cleaning procedures for scanning windows to maintain high read rates. Use the Motionix feature to reduce unnecessary power usage by letting the device wake on movement.
