IT5600/5800

The IT5600 and IT5800 mark a new performance level for handheld scanners.

Both the IT5600 and IT5800 are powered by Hand Held Products AdaptusTM Imaging Technology. The performance of Adaptus technology delivers aggressive read rates and depths of field on 1D, stacked linear, and matrix codes.

Designed for today’s demanding retail and commercial environments, the IT5600 offers a superior reading range, durability, and the ability to read poor quality bar codes. Linear imaging technology is defined by a bright and sharply focused aiming line, high resolution imaging, and fast reading speed. The IT5600 is comfortable to hold, easy to use, rugged, and excellent for retail applications, as well as for all general scanning applications.

The IT5800 handheld industrial image reader is the first industrial class reader to be powered by Hand Held Products Adaptus imaging technology. Adaptus technology allows you to read bar codes at ranges up to 82 inches on paper labels. In addition, this technology allows your IT5800 to pick up and process your bar code image 270 times per second. Although the IT5800 uses the same general ergonomic design as the IT5600, the IT5800 is built to withstand your toughest industrial applications.
