About the Reader
The PowerScan 2D is a family of feature-rich and rugged area image readers.
It is offered in several different models to better fit the different needs of
each customer.
The main model categories are:
• PD9530-XX: Corded models.
• PM9500-XX: STAR-System(tm) models.
• PBT9500-XX: Bluetooth models.
Within each category, further differentiating features are available, described
by
the part number suffix:
• D: models equipped with display
• DPM: models with laser, ink jet and dot peen reading
capability
• HP: models with autofocus optic
Typically, units are factory-programmed for
the most common terminal and
communications settings. If you need to modify any programmable settings,
custom configuration can be done by scanning the programming barcodes
within this guide or with Datalogic Aladdin™, available from the Datalogic
website. See
"Datalogic Aladdin™" on
page 6 for more information.
Advancements in the LED technology used in the imager-based readers sig-
nificantly improve the illumination of the target field of view, resulting in
higher scan efficiency. Whether used in Single Trigger or Continuous Mode,
the ergonomic design of the reader will help to promote comfortable han-
dling during extended periods of use.
In addition, the reader can be set up t
o read and output data from USA
Driver License PDF417 bar codes. For more information reference the USA
Driver License Parsing Quick Reference Guide (QRG), available on the Data-
logic website.

able interface sets by model type.
