Multi-Functional
Scanner for Multi-Tasking Environments
The P460 memory scanner breaks new ground in retail-industry
scanning. Equipped with memory, keypad, display and an award-winning
ergonomic design, this hand-held scanner switches seamlessly from
data scanning to data management. Ideal for specialty retail and
department stores, the economical P460 plays many roles. At the
point of sale, it is a corded hand-held scanner. Placed in a Symbol
IntelliStand, it becomes an easy-to-use, hands-free presentation
scanner, perfect for scanning small items. In cordless mode, the
P460 moves onto the sales floor and loading dock for inventory
counts and audits, price checks, order generation, receiving and
transfers.
Award-Winning
Design
The P460 is comfortable to hold and easy to use.
The futuristic "handle-forward" design was awarded a gold medal
in the 1998 Industrial Design Excellence Awards (IDEA98) by Business
Week magazine and the Industrial Design Society of America. The
scanner's ergonomic contours fit the hand securely and help reduce
fatigue, which is important in scan-intensive applications. The
P460's 17-key numeric keypad and easy-to-read two-line by 20-character
display are top-mounted for effortless access and visibility.
The P460 weighs just 12 oz./336 gm. The unit is rugged and comfortable
to use. Symbol built it to withstand multiple 5'/1.5 m drops to
concrete.
A
Memory Option for Your Application
The standard 1 MB model provides ample storage
for inventory counts, stock transfers and similar data management
applications as well as sufficient memory for look-up files, which
can be downloaded to the scanner. Support for look-up files is
critical to certain real-time data capture and management applications,
such as inventory checks and receiving. Ask Symbol about the 4
MB memory option.
The
scanner's two-line display can show simple commands such as "Enter
Quantity," or "Scan Item"; use the scroll key to view longer lists
or menus.
Tailor
Applications with Ease
Because flexibility is the hallmark of the P460
memory scanner, Symbol Technologies teamed it with MCL-Designer,
an easy-to-use Windows-based application development tool. Using
MCL-Designer's intuitive graphical user interface, even non-programmers
can create custom programs. Applications can be simulated and
debugged before they are down-loaded to the P460. The MCL interpreter
comes preloaded in the P460's memory.
Flexible
Host Interface
The P460's flexibility extends to the host interface.
When you are ready to send or receive data, connect a cable to
the P460, or place it in the optional communications cradle. Either
way, the P460 interfaces via RS-232 or Symbol's Synapseš "smart"
cable to many hosts in many different configurations. Up to 12
cradles can be "daisy chained" to a single RS-232 port on the
host.
Plenty
of Power
The P460 comes with a high-capacity, 1100 mAh rechargeable
lithium-ion battery that powers the unit for up to 12 hours even
during scan-intensive applications. The P460 recharges its battery
automatically whenever it is supplied with power either through
the cable or cradle. A complete recharge takes less than four
hours.
