The WA3800 is a high performance, hand held bar code scanner. The WA3800 uses linear imaging technology to set a new standard for hand held scanners by combining a
bright, sharp aiming line with high resolution imaging to deliver exceptional reading performance.
The WA3800 handle is smoothly contoured to fit all sized hands, plus has a soft grip area to add comfort and prevent slipping. Its aesthetically pleasing look
surrounds a rugged, durable construction, built for demanding work environments. The WA3800 is so durable, it carries a 5 year warranty.
Each decoded output scanner has the capability to connect as a keyboard wedge, use the serial port, output non decoded laser compatible signals, or
operate in wand emulation mode. The WA3800 connects to all popular PCs, Apple MAC, and portable data terminals. Models are available for IBM retail terminals (4683/93, OCIA) and
for PDF417 applications. A non decoded mode can be used with external wedge decoders and portable terminals or other devices with decoding capability. Standard cables are used to
reduce replacement expense.
The WA3800 is excellent in hand held scanning applications such as retail point of sale and in-store inventory. It operates from a tabletop holder in
manual trigger mode, or may be placed in an adjustable stand for automated operation. The WA3800 can be used indoors or outside in bright sunlight. Typical applications are light-industry, point of sale, in-store inventory, document management, transaction processing of bar coded receipts, payment counter, outdoor sales kiosks, and reading of vehicle
registrations.
Bright, Sharp and Focused Aiming Line
Easy to aim and scan codes in any lighting condition from darkness to full sunlight, tightly stacked bar code sheets, or small, high resolution
labels.
Solid, Rugged Design
No moving parts inside and solid construction outside deliver years of reliable service in demanding work environments.
New Design
Attractive styling compliments most existing POS environments, while user comfort is enhanced by the smooth handle curves, soft molded grip area, and comfortable trigger.
Powerful, Flexible Architecture
Connects and interfaces to all major PCs, commercial and retail DOS terminals easily and quickly with Windows&#reg; based programming
tools or bar code programming menus.
Increased Reading Distances
Easily covers the full range of hand held scanning uses in point of sale and general purpose scanning applications.
Real World Reading Performance
Accommodates printer induced bar space variation, faded labels, short quiet zones, low contrast codes, dot matrix printing, and multipart forms with higher resolution, better optics and improved decoding algorithms.
The optional holding stand allows for hands-free use of the WA-3800. The hardened plastic stand features an adjustable neck, and a wide weighted footprint for lateral stability. For hands-free use, the WA-3800 can be put into
Presentation Mode which turns off the LEDs until a barcode is presented and works under normal ambient light conditions.
