Overview
Great Performance is now even Better!
The QuickScan 6000 Plus™ handheld scanner offers great
performance at a very affordable price. With a high first pass
read rate and the best speed-to-read of any scanner in its class,
the QS6000 Plus speeds retail checkout. And its 13" (33 cm) depth
of field with 100% UPC labels extends the user�s working range.
With a high visibility option, utilizing a 650nm laser diode,
the user can target and read bar codes even in bright light conditions
due to the scanner�s inherent tolerance of high ambient light
conditions. Plus, PSC�s advanced electronics perform well even
when reading low contrast labels with poor edge definition.
Hardened for Tough Store Environments
The QS6000 Plus scanner incorporates the most advanced, high
durability features available today. The reading engine and optics
are protected by anti-shock mounts built to absorb up to 1500
Gs. In fact, the QS6000 Plus can withstand repeated five-foot
(152 cm) drops to concrete.
The QS6000 Plus also features a strong, plastic enclosure that
guards against liquid and dust infiltration. A tough, rubber-like
shield cushions the scanner when dropped, protects the scan window
from being scratched and prevents the scanner from slipping off
counter surfaces. The coiled cable, with strain relief and end
cap, is made from rugged, tear-resistant polyurethane and retains
its� memory after repeated flexing and stretching.
Lightweight & Ergonomic For Maximum Scanning Comfort &
Productivity
The QuickScan 6000 Plus scanner was developed with operator comfort
in mind -- a critical factor that ensures prolonged operator productivity.
The weight of its evenly balanced design can be held easily in
any size hand, even for extended periods of use. The positive
response trigger provides tactile feedback when pressed, yet allows
the operator�s index finger to relax comfortably between scans.
When resting on a horizontal surface, in a stand, or in a belt
holster, the handle is quickly and easily grasped for "scoop and
scan" simplicity.
Connectivity For Any Environment
Support for all popular POS interfaces and keyboard wedges is
standard. The QS6000 Plus reads all major bar code symbologies,
auto-discriminating between codes. Full support is also included
for the UPC/EAN family, add-ons and other types of code extensions.
The QuickScan 6000 Plus: An Outstanding Value
With the QS6000 Plus scanner, there�s no need to make trade-offs
between quality and affordability. High-end performance, advanced
ergonomic design, enhanced durability -- the combination of these
features in the QS6000 Plus adds up to one of the best values
in the industry.
