Batch or Radio Frequency: Choose the Model and Options that Meet Your Needs
Symbol Technologies' PDT 3100 Series are small, lightweight portable data terminals designed for flexible, single-hand operation and built for unmatched durability. These 16-bit DOS-based terminals are ideal for a wide range of data tracking applications. The PDT 3100 is designed for batch processing, while the PDT 3110 features Symbol's Spectrum One® 900 MHz radio frequency technology for real-time data exchange with your host computer.
Choose the integrated scan head option and the PDT 3100 offers a cost-effective way to maximize your productivity through laser scanning. The world's smallest scan element, the innovative SE 1000 scan engine utilizes Symbol's patented Mylar® scan element, a unique technology that creates motion without wear or tear for durable, non-stop reliability. Plus, the Mylar scan element is so reliable it comes with its own limited lifetime warranty*, another Symbol exclusive.
Throughput-- as well as user comfort -- is further enhanced via the reversible scan head which permits the user to select a left or right scanning position. Alternatively, the terminal can support a contact or tethered scanner.
