The PowerScan PD9531 imager will ensure the same functionalities and features as the replaced PD9530 imager and will be completely compatible with all PD9530 imager accessories. It supports 1D, stacked and 2D codes, postal codes and image capture. Aim, Trigger, Decode, It is that Simple------An intuitive and effortless scanning experience is the target of the PowerScan 9500 family. It combines omnidirectional reading capabilities, which is typical in all area imaging scanners, with outstanding optical characteristics. The result is a scanner that is able to read any kind of bar code, regardless of the orientation, from contact to over 1.0 m / 3.3 ft, depending on the bar code resolution. Developed with the User in Mind------User comfort is guaranteed because of the scanner ergonomics, consisting of the handle shape, a well-balanced weight and an intuitive aiming system, allowing the highest first-pass reading rate while reducing unnatural wrist movement or rotation which can tire any user during long shifts. Built to Last------The rugged mechanics of the PowerScan family guarantee reliable operation in the long term. Repeated shocks and indoor / outdoor usage in the toughest environmental conditions do not modify the scanners performance or reliability. The PowerScan 9531 area imager uses a soft-pulsed white illumination light resulting in reduced flashes, which is very gentle on the eyes and less troublesome to the operator during scan-intensive applications.
