Getting Started

3800i/3800r

The 3800i and 3800r mark a new performance level for handheld scanners.

Both the 3800i and 3800r are powered by Honeywell AdaptusTM Imaging Tech- nology. The performance of Adaptus technology delivers aggressive read rates and depths of field on 1D, stacked linear, and matrix codes.

The 3800i handheld industrial image reader is the first industrial class reader to be powered by Honeywell Adaptus imaging technology. Adaptus technology allows you to read bar codes at ranges up to 82 inches on paper labels. In addi- tion, this technology allows your 3800i to pick up and process your bar code image 270 times per second. Although the 3800i uses the same general ergo- nomic design as the 3800r, the 3800i is built to withstand your toughest industrial applications.

Designed for today’s demanding retail and commercial environments, the 3800r 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 3800r is comfortable to hold, easy to use, rugged, and excellent for retail applications, as well as for all general scanning applications.
