PDT3100 Series Portable Data Terminals:

Industry Leading Data Terminal with New Enhancements:

The PDT3100 from Symbol Technologies is the bar code data capture industry's most popular portable data terminal with a proven history of performance and reliability second to none. A wide variety of flexible options - including a choice of displays, keypads, bar code scanning and communications - enable the PDT3100 to be customized to best fit the needs of your application. Users can select from 4- or 8-line by 20 character displays, 35- or 46-key alphanumeric keypads, optional integrated 1-D scanning, and either batch or wireless communications via Symbol's Spectrum24® wireless LAN technology. An improved display is sharper and easier to read, even in bright light. And a new and improved scan engine delivers robust scanning performance.

High Performance First-Time Every-Time Scanning

The PDT3100 Series offers outstanding scanning for the most demanding environments. The SE1200 HP scan engine delivers faster scanning with the ability to easily read bar codes through plastic and other protective coatings, poor quality bar codes, and reflective and low-contrast symbols as well. In addition, the flexible scan head can rotate, enabling left- or right-handed scanning.

Ideal for Data-Intensive Applications

The PDT3100 Series is ideal for data-intensive applications in a wide range of industries including retail, where portable data terminals bring increased efficiency and accuracy to shelf price audits, price checking, order entry, inventory control, shipping, picking and receiving. In transportation and logistics environments, the PDT3100 enables more efficient package/baggage tracking, picking and receiving, and cross-dock applications.

Proven Past, Unlimited Future

One of the industry's most proven and robust portable data terminals, the PDT3100 Series offers flexible options to meet your needs today and in the future, with performance and reliability you can count on. It's another example of strategic thinking from Symbol, the worldwide leader in bar code-driven data management systems.
