QUICKSCAN 6000
Overview
Premium Performance & Durability - At An Affordable
Price
The QuickScan 6000 is designed specifically for retail POS and features an
unprecedented combination: the superior performance and rugged design of a
high-end POS scanner and an affordable price.
High Performance Engine, Electronics, Optics
Key to the QS6000's performance is its reading engine, which utilizes proven
technology to maintain a high overall first-pass read rate and to neutralize
the negative effects of bright ambient light. Plus, PSC's advanced electronics
perform solidly even when reading bar-coded labels with low contrast or poor
edge definition. The QS6000's unique optical design is fast and responsive
when reading from contact to 13" (33 cm).
Built to Last
Continuing PSC's commitment to quality, the QS6000 incorporates the most advanced,
high durability features available today. The scan motor is made from hardened
metal, a substantial improvement over the plastic scan motors of the past.
The reading engine and optics are protected by anti-shock mounts built to
absorb up to 2000 Gs. In fact, the QS6000 can withstand repeated 5 ft (152cm)
drops to concrete.
Durability by Design
The QS6000 also features a strong, plastic enclosure that guards against liquid
and dust infiltration. A tough, rubber-like shield cushions the scanner when
dropped, protects the scan window from scratching and prevents the scanner
from slipping off counter surfaces. The coiled cable, with strain relief and
end cap, is made from rugged, tear-resistant polyurethane and retains its
memory after repeated flexing and stretching.
Lightweight & Ergonomic For Maximum Scanning Comfort
& Productivity
The QuickScan 6000 was developed with operator comfort in mind - a critical
factor that ensures extended operator productivity. Its evenly balanced design
lets it be held easily in any size hand, and its low weight enables it to
be used comfortably for even long periods of time. The positive response trigger
provides tactile feedback when pressed, yet allows the operator's index finger
to relax comfortably between scans. When the scanner is resting on a horizontal
surface, in a stand, or in a belt holster, its handle can be quickly and easily
grasped for 'scoop and scan' simplicity.
Connectivity For Any Environment
Support for all popular POS interfaces and keyboard wedges is standard.
Auto-Discrimination
The QS6000 reads all major bar code symbologies, auto-discriminating between
codes. Full support is also included for the UPC/EAN family, add-ons and other
types of code extensions.
The QuickScan 6000: An Outstanding Value
With the QS6000, there's no need to make trade-offs between quality and affordability.
High-end performance, advanced ergonomic design, enhanced durability - the
combination of these features in the QS6000 adds up to one of the best values
in the industry.
