About the PT2000 and TopGun

The PT2000

The PSC PT2000 is a rugged, handheld, portable data-collection terminal that allows bar code scanning technology anywhere.

The PT2000 accepts input from any of the following devices: The TopGun module (refer to page 9)

Wands (visible light and infrared)

Handheld charge-coupled device (CCD) scanners 5-volt handheld laser scanners

ID badge readers

Magnetic stripe readers (one track)

The PT2000 automatically recognizes and discriminates among the following bar code symbologies:

Codabar	Code 128	Code 39
Code 93	EAN-8	EAN-13
Interleaved 2 of 5	JAN-8	JAN-13
UPC-A	UPC-E	UPC/EAN/JAN extensions

The PT2000 verifies acceptance of input by sounding a beep. Change the beeper’s volume, pitch, and duration to suit the work environment or personal preferences.

The PT2000’s liquid crystal display (LCD) provides easy readability. Its keypad provides full alphanumeric input capabilities and includes four programmable function keys. The PT2000 features a built-in PC interface, for use as a keyboard “wedge” for those applications requiring fixed-station scanning.

The PT2000 comes with the PALPRO application installed. PALPRO is made up of three useful programs coexisting in memory:

ASSETPRO, for tracking assets at various locations. INVPRO, for inventory control. Customize it to collect item- and-quantity information or item-only data.
