Establishing New Benchmarks in Portable Data Terminals
Building on the legacy of our industry-leading Symbol PDT 3100
Portable Data Terminals, the Symbol PDT 6100 Series combines superior ergonomics, a
high-performance scan engine and optimum battery life to provide you with unsurpassed
performance for gathering, displaying and communicating the critical data that drives your
business.
Available in both retail and industrial versions, the Symbol PDT 6100 Series provides
you with broader, more robust bar code-driven data management than ever before.
Superior Ergonomics and Advanced Features
The Symbol PDT 6100 Series has been ergonomically designed to
provide maximum user comfort over extended periods of use. Its small, lightweight,
contoured form factor rests easily in the user's hand. The Symbol PDT 6100 allows for both
left- or right-handed operation and a choice of conveniently spaced 35- or 46-key
alphanumeric or 21-key numeric keyboard configurations for easy input–even for users
who need to wear gloves.
The Symbol PDT 6100 offers a choice of brightly lit, easy-to-read display options. The
4- or 8-line by 20-character or the 16-line by 21-character liquid crystal display with
optional backlighting and adjustable contrast setting allow clear reading. Signature
capture is useful for proof-of-delivery and tracking or tracing of goods, parcels, and
packages. Each display is scratch-resistant and sealed against moisture and dust.
Premium Scanning Performance
The Symbol PDT 6100 incorporates Symbol's standard, high-performance
SE 900 Scan Engine–the smallest, lightest and brightest scan engine available today!
Just 15% of the weight and 20% of the size of the SE 1200, it is designed to provide the
highest scanning performance in the smallest package possible.
Power When You Need It
Dramatic improvements in the battery life of the Symbol PDT
6100 will pay dividends to your company's data-intensive applications wherever you use
them. From retail operations where portable data terminals increase speed and efficiency
of shelf pricing, audits, price checking, order entry, and inventory control, to
transportation and logistics companies who need to perform package/baggage tracking,
picking, receiving and cross-dock applications, the Symbol PDT 6100 NiMH battery gives you
longer life for true full-shift capabilities, no matter how intensive the demands.
Tough Enough for Any Environment
The Symbol PDT 6100 Series industrial version has the ruggedized
housing you need for mobile applications, even in the most demanding indoor or outdoor
manufacturing environments. It incorporates IP54 standards for protection against the
elements. The tough construction of the Symbol PDT 6100 can easily withstand multiple 4
ft./1.2 m drops to concrete.
Improved Communication Anywhere in Your Enterprise
The Symbol PDT 6100 comes in both batch processing and RF models
that employ Spectrum24® or Spectrum One® wireless LAN
technologies. This means you have more options for collecting data easily and
communicating it to your host computer, and for keeping track of information generated
anywhere in your organization. For batch processing applications, you can even choose RAM
options from 1.2MB to a powerful 7.6MB.
